Verse 1

Spent my whole life yeah lookin' for something,  
What it was I'm not really sure   
I looked for happiness but only found sorrow,  
Then I realized how to unlock the door, yeah, yeah, yeah

Some say life is a struggle now

It's a game now, just gotta know the rules
Gotta know the rules

Most people go through life thinking,  
Take what you can and leave the weak behind  
Never stop to think what can you give now,  
Too afraid to learn what you might find, yeah, yeah, yeah
