Lyrics
Where oh where did my potential go?
Or was it ever even here?
Used to hang out with my aptitude
Before we saw them disappear
Put me under oath
And I swear on my honor as a sinner
And I swear that I’ll never make the same mistake again
And I swear on my fragile human nature
That I’ll only let you down when the words come back around on me
Once you said you thought the world of me
Or was that something you would feign?
Used to think I had ability
Before I poured it down the drain
Put me under oath
And I swear on my honor as a sinner
And I swear that I’ll never make the same mistake again
And I swear on my fragile human nature
That I’ll only let you down when the words come back around on me
And I swear on my honor as a sinner
And I swear that I’ll never make the same mistake again
And I swear on my fragile human nature
That I’ll only let you down when the words come back around
And I swear on my honor as a sinner
And I swear that I’ll never make the same mistake again
And I swear on my fragile human nature
That I’ll only let you down when the words come back around
Yeah, I’ll only let you down when the words come back around on me
On me
