Shell of a Saint Songtext
Here I am the one that you adore
You give it all and more
But I′m to wrapped up in myself
Here I am the one you love to hate
Whatever you give I'll take
And push aside what gets in my way
It seems I′m always
Looking in from the outside
I try to keep it straight
But I feel it falling apart
It seems I'm always
Look out from the inside
I try to hold on tight
But I feel it slipping away
Here I am an empty man no pride
Eyes opened wide
Ashamed of the things that I've become
Here I am a shell of a saint that right
I′d try for more but why
I′d just end up with the same mistakes
It seems I'm always
Looking in from the outside
I try to keep it straight
But I feel it falling apart
It seems I′m always
Look out from the inside
I try to hold on tight
But I feel it slipping away
It seems I spend my time
Looking at the wrong side
I see it in my head
And I want to tear it away
It seems there is no way
To get to the upside
I've given what I can
And I feel I′m dragging you down
I am the one that left you there with nothing
I am the one that took it all away
I am the one that left you standing broken
I am the one that stole your dreams away
I am the one that left you feeling empty
I am the one that handed you the blame
I am the one that took it all for granted
I am the one that threw it all way
Things keep getting in the way
It should have been someone else
You give it all and more
But I′m to wrapped up in myself
Here I am the one you love to hate
Whatever you give I'll take
And push aside what gets in my way
It seems I′m always
Looking in from the outside
I try to keep it straight
But I feel it falling apart
It seems I'm always
Look out from the inside
I try to hold on tight
But I feel it slipping away
Here I am an empty man no pride
Eyes opened wide
Ashamed of the things that I've become
Here I am a shell of a saint that right
I′d try for more but why
I′d just end up with the same mistakes
It seems I'm always
Looking in from the outside
I try to keep it straight
But I feel it falling apart
It seems I′m always
Look out from the inside
I try to hold on tight
But I feel it slipping away
It seems I spend my time
Looking at the wrong side
I see it in my head
And I want to tear it away
It seems there is no way
To get to the upside
I've given what I can
And I feel I′m dragging you down
I am the one that left you there with nothing
I am the one that took it all away
I am the one that left you standing broken
I am the one that stole your dreams away
I am the one that left you feeling empty
I am the one that handed you the blame
I am the one that took it all for granted
I am the one that threw it all way
Things keep getting in the way
It should have been someone else
