Things I Used to Say
I used to say I wanted fame
But then I lost my privacy
I used to say I wanted love
Until it ripped a hole in me
I used to say I had no fears
And now I’m so afraid
I used to say I wanted success
Then I learned the price I’d have to pay
I used to say it would all get better
But that was just a lie
I used to say I’m doing great
Now it’s just I’m fine
I used to say I wanted adventure
These days I keep it to myself
I used to say what was on my mind
Lately I leave my thoughts on the shelf
I used to believe in that fairy tale
Now, I don’t know what to think
I used to have high expectations
As of today, I don’t expect anything
