This Life

You've got no self-esteem
You think you're so mistreated
You can't stand your face
And you cannot
Cannot believe that you cannot control your fate.

This isn't what you wanted
Someone to break you down and it never goes away
It's not the life you wanted
Someone to break you, someone to make you.

Bruises on your face
I guess you fell down the steps again
And that's such a shame
Cause you let it
You let it happen over and over again.

This isn't what you wanted
Someone to break you down and it never goes away
It's not the life you wanted
Someone to break you, someone to make you.

It's just another day
The last day he touches you again
But that's the price he'll pay
You pull the trigger
It all goes away in one determined flash.

This isn't what you wanted
Someone to break you down and it never goes away
It's not the life you wanted
Someone to break you, someone to make you.

Pay! Pay! Pay! Pay!

Close you eyes, you better
Hold 'em tight, you'll never
Don't keep telling yourself it'll be alright
Don't keep telling yourself it'll be alright.

This isn't what you wanted
Someone to break you down and it never goes away
It's not the life you wanted
Someone to break you, someone to make you.

Pay! Pay! Pay! Pay!

Close you eyes, you better
Hold 'em tight, you'll never
Don't keep telling yourself it'll be alright
Don't keep telling yourself it'll be alright.
