Because I
Left my only chance beside the edge
You'd think that I would learn it all by now
Something in my brain doesn't tell me what to say and it sounds so wrong

Because I hung myself for you and you pull me farther, pull me farther down
There's nothing left for me to prove

Hey now, I'm going through the motions
Do I get no credit for succeeding?
In my own way I've become the mountain that's in your way

Because I
Always seem to say the perfect things
You say it doesn't matter anyway
Any chance I had was gone long before today and that's so wrong

Because I hung myself for you and you pull me farther, pull me farther down
There's nothing left for me to prove

Hey now, I'm going through the motions
Do I get no credit for succeeding?
In my own way I've become the mountain that's in your way

In my own way, I'm just going to say

Because I hung myself for you and you pull me farther, pull me farther down
There's nothing left for me to prove

Hey now, I'm going through the motions
Do I get no credit for succeeding in my own way?
Yeah, I've become the mountain that's in your way

In my own way, I've become the mountain that's in your way
