I was lead to believe, but now I know for sure
When the wind's knocked out of me
Only one thing that can be cure and bring me to my feet
When all the words just relate
I just hit play, and when the record comes to an end
I'll listen all over again

Truth is, I'm taking a step back and taking some time to think
I've just got to express myself with this pen and ink
Because I've got something left to say
This means all the world to me
These words never let me down

This all made me who I am
This is how I became a man
So when breath escapes and my eyes close
Just hit play and when the record comes to an end
I'll sing all over again

Truth is, I'm taking a step back and taking some time to think
I've just got an express myself with this pen and ink
Because I've got something left to say
This means all the world to me
These words never let me down

This is my everything
Come do your worst, this is my obsession
I chose this life, and I've found my own direction

Truth is, I'm taking a step back and taking some time to think
I've just got an express myself with this pen and ink
Because I've got something left to say
This means all the world to me
These words never let me down

When this record comes to an end, I'll just start it all over again
