This is my wasted youth Have I gone off the deep end To offer I have nothing but Another sleepless night I'll spend Destined to die in the act of trying Taking the line downhill (Taking the line downhill) Gripped to my flaws, and this knot I'm tying I remain at a standstill And that's why I'm Wasted potential Trying to be someone When all is said and done I'll never be the fuckin' one Wasted potential Of what once could have been At one point I was sure But now I'm crippling within I'm in this rut again Running dry, I am deprived Every time feels like the end Forever trapped within my mind Destined to die in the act of trying Taking the line downhill (Taking the line downhill) Gripped to my flaws, and this knot I'm tying I remain at a standstill And that's why I'm Wasted potential Trying to be someone When all is said and done I'll never be the fuckin' one Wasted potential Of what once could have been At one point I was sure But now I'm crippling within I never asked to be here In this case of uncertain circumstances Thought to myself I'd have steered clear from here For years wanted to disappear Yet the devil has reappeared Back at square zero, and in the debris Didn't think I'd make it to 18, let alone past 30 Now I'm not so sure about what I once believed But for now my head is where I'll be And that's why I'm Wasted potential Trying to be someone When all is said and done I'll never be the fuckin' one Wasted potential Of what once could have been At one point I was sure But now I'm crippling within Wasted potential Now I'm off on my own Wasted potential My wounds loose threads that cannot be sewn Wasted potential Better off being alone Wasted potential Trying to be someone When all is said and done I'll never be the fuckin' one
