I guess hope springs eternal in idiots like me
I lowered my guard — I put my good sense out to sea
Where handshakes mean nothing
And a man's word is his lie
I can't believe
I went along for the ride
When I was down and out
It left no doubt
This is reality
That's what you think of me
Friends are just roles which we choose to occupy
Just blips on the radar passing in the night
And all of the good times they only end bad
And all of the laughter it always turns sad
Where handshakes mean nothing
And a man's word is his lie
I can't believe
I went along for the ride
When I was down and out
It left no doubt
This is reality
That's what you think of me
This is the sound of a broken heart
I bared my soul and I had it ripped apart
This is the sound of shattered dreams
They flew too high and above their means
And all of those knives that were buried in my back
Not one of them could stop me in my tracks
But the knife that got me – That put me in my place
Is the one you stuck right in my fucking face
Where handshakes mean nothing
And a man's word is his lie
I can't believe
I went along for the ride
S are burning — I just watch them burn
Another one down man when will I learn?
When will I give up? When will I quit?
Opening my life up to other people's shit
Where handshakes mean nothing
And a man's word is his lie
I can't believe
I went along for the ride
When I was down and out
It left no doubt
This is reality
That's what you think of me
