"By My Own Hand" lyrics

"By My Own Hand"

My skin is stained and I don't think the same
As I did when I was only 18
I hate me now for who I was then
It's time for new friends

But I'll beg for the last of your chances, mm

I get closer and closer to changing my face
But the scars on my skin, they all still remain
I got sober and older, I've done all I can
To change who I was and to be who I am
I've been held down by my own hand
I've been held down by my own hand

Tell me things that I've heard before
I chose to ignore every truth that they told
Now I'm here haunted by history
The ghost of my misery

But I'll beg for the last of your chances, mm

I get closer and closer to changing my face
But the scars on my skin, they all still remain
I got sober and older, I've done all I can
To change who I was and to be who I am
I've been held down by my own hand
I've been held down by my own hand
I get closer and closer to changing my face
But the scars on my skin, they all still remain
I got sober and older, I've done all I can
To change who I was and to be who I am
I've been held down by my own hand
I've been held down by my own hand
I've done all I can
To change who I was and to be who I am
