Lyrics:

What if I don't do the things I need?

What if I don't know who I can believe?

What if I become all the horrible things I said that I would never be?

Waste my life and then never see

Take and take and I never give

Oh, please help me

Oh, please help me

I needed a place to rest my head

Needed a place to make my bed

Wanted something better than this

Needed a place to rest my head

All the things I'll never be (I'll never be)

Waste my life and never see (I never see)

Take and take, I never give (I never give)

All the things I'll never be

What if I don't feel like I belong?

What happens to my head if I go beyond?

What if I become all the horrible things I swore that I would never be?

Waste my life, I'm never free

Take and take till I'm empty

Oh, please help me

Oh, please help me

I needed a place to rest my head

Needed a place to make my bed

Wanted something better than this

Needed a place to rest my head

All the things I'll never be (I'll never be)

Waste my life and never see (I never see)

Take and take, I never give (I never give)

All the things I'll never be

Who am I to disagree?

Who am I to fall apart?

I lived my life the best I could

Lived my life the best I could

I needed a place to rest my head

Needed a place to make my bed

Wanted something better than this

Needed a place to rest my head

All the things I'll never be (I'll never be)

Waste my life and never see (I never see)

Take and take, I never give (I never give)

All the things I'll never be
