lyrics

lived too long now you've come to take me to a place where i can die
lost my soul lost my confidence in me can't be something but i'll try
lived too long and waited to just drown in my self pity i keep falling down
want to be your soldier, want to be your slave
i have no pride in myself
only book that i own is called 'how to lose' 
pick a chapter i know them all just choose
lived to long and waited to find a place where i can die
lost my soul lost my confidence in me give me something but i'll try
want to be your soldier, want to be your slave
i have no pride in myself, that's how i behave
