This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Never learned to fake it
Even though you want me to
Don't belong in your world
Won't be coming back no more
Don't want you near me
Don't need you in my life
Leave it all behind me
I close my eyes and
It's all gone
Now I'm on the outside
My reflection on your wall
Bite the hand that feeds me
In order to stay alive
You could never hurt me
The way you hurt yourself
Nothing lasts forever
I close my eyes, and you are gone
You are gone
You are gone
I am what you made me
Don't put the blame on me
You are safe as always
In your world of make believe
I owe you nothing
I gave it all away
Won't see me crawling
Seems like you have lost control
You could never hurt me
The way you hurt yourself
Nothing lasts forever
I close my eyes, and you are gone
You are gone
You are gone
You are gone
I owe you nothing
You are gone
I owe you nothing
Now I'm on the outside
My reflection on your wall
Bite the hand that feeds me
In order to stay alive
You could never hurt me
The way you hurt yourself
Nothing lasts forever
I close my eyes, and you are gone
You are gone
You are gone
You are gone
You are gone
You are gone
I owe you nothing
I owe you nothing
I owe you nothing
I owe you nothing
Even though you want me to
Don't belong in your world
Won't be coming back no more
Don't want you near me
Don't need you in my life
Leave it all behind me
I close my eyes and
It's all gone
Now I'm on the outside
My reflection on your wall
Bite the hand that feeds me
In order to stay alive
You could never hurt me
The way you hurt yourself
Nothing lasts forever
I close my eyes, and you are gone
You are gone
You are gone
I am what you made me
Don't put the blame on me
You are safe as always
In your world of make believe
I owe you nothing
I gave it all away
Won't see me crawling
Seems like you have lost control
You could never hurt me
The way you hurt yourself
Nothing lasts forever
I close my eyes, and you are gone
You are gone
You are gone
You are gone
I owe you nothing
You are gone
I owe you nothing
Now I'm on the outside
My reflection on your wall
Bite the hand that feeds me
In order to stay alive
You could never hurt me
The way you hurt yourself
Nothing lasts forever
I close my eyes, and you are gone
You are gone
You are gone
You are gone
You are gone
You are gone
I owe you nothing
I owe you nothing
I owe you nothing
I owe you nothing
