I thought I knew the wolves by name,
They charge in here again and again,
I knew it was wrong, I knew it was wrong,
I only wanted to belong.
With knowing smiles they wait their turn,
To fill their boots, what have I learned?
I'll do it again, I'll do it again,
I only wanted to pretend.
That all the days I woke up in a daydream,
I swore so blind that I would never again,
Oh hell, I've lost my self again.
But I'm gonna do right by me,
I'm gonna do right by me.
I knew back then the start would end,
I would even move to your gun,
I'll do it again, I'll do it again,
I only wanted to pretend.
That all the days I woke up in a strange place,
Were so damn dark that I would never again,
Oh hell, I've lost my way again.
But I'm gonna do right by me,
I'm gonna do right by me.
But you don't see the dark side of me,
'Cause I'm too ashamed of it,
And those wolves in the back room lead me astray...
To all the days I woke up in a daydream,
I pray, God please, that I will never again,
Don't let me lose my self again.
'Cause I'm gonna do right by me,
I'm gonna do right by me.
