Lyrics:

What happened to you
You played the victim for so long now in this game
What I thought was true
Is made of fiction and I'm following the same

But if I try to make sense of this mess I'm in
I'm not sure where I should begin
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'

Now I'm in over my head
for something I said
Completely misread
I'm better off dead

And now I can see
I think it could be
This hypocrisy is beginning to get to me

It's none of my concern
What is luck to me I don't believe in fame
I guess you never heard
I bet the makers they don't even know your name

But if I had to say goodbye to leave this hell
I think my time has served me well
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'

[Chorus]

This came all before
Those who suffer more
I'm too awake for this to be a nightmare

What's with my disgrace
I lost the human race
No one left for this to blow up in you face

Who said it was so easy to put back all of these pieces
Who said it was so easy to put back all of these pieces

[Chorus]

Over my head
Better off dead

Over my head
Better off dead
