"Devil On My Shoulder" lyrics

I hate the way it feels like I'm running out of time
Trying not to let down everybody in my life
Maybe that's the reason why I'm staying up at night
There's a devil on my shoulder, I think he might be right
'Cause I hate the way it feels like I'm being left behind
Trying to find a purpose but I fear I'm losing sight
Of all the many reasons why I'm staying in the fight
There's a devil on my shoulder, I think he might, think he might be right

I'm drowning and I don't know how
Anyone could pull me out
I'm sorry for the way that I run
I'm sorry for the weight I've become
I'm falling and I don't know why
I can't ever learn to fly
Trying to change, I don't know if I can
I think it's just the way that I am

I miss when I was younger, the boy I used to be
If he looked into the future would he like the man he sees?
'Cause lately I've been feeling like I'm not where I should be
There's a devil on my shoulder, that's what he's telling me
I hope that when I'm older, older than today
I'll look upon the present as the turning of the page
Is there any way of knowing when the night will turn to day?
There's a devil on my shoulder, will he ever go, ever go away?

I'm drowning and I don't know how
Anyone could pull me out
I'm sorry for the way that I run
I'm sorry for the weight I've become
I'm falling and I don't know why
I can't ever learn to fly
Trying to change, I don't know if I can
I think it's just the way that I am
I think it's just the way that I am

If where I am is where I'm meant
Why do I feel lost again?
All the tears and the time I spent
Just to end where I began
