Said the People Lyrics

I've been staring, I've been staring into space
Always tired, not a smile, such a waste
I don't wanna, I don't want to know
I cant tell you, I just have to go

Of all the people
Of all the people who let me down

Of all the people
Of all the people...why now?

Say to me
Say to me
Save me
Save me

Bring me something, bring me something I can use
Well here's one thing, but it's not the one I choose
I can't help it, hope you show up soon
I can't help it, I'm counting on you

Of all the people
Of all the people to let me down
Of all the people
Of all the people...why now?

Say to me
Say to me
Save me
Save me

Can you tell me, can you tell me what went wrong?
Guess I should have seen it coming all along
Gotta fight it, I gotta be strong
I gotta do something, can't let it drag on and on

Of all the people
Of all the people to let me down
Of all the people
Of all the people...why now?

Say to me
Say to me
Save me
Save me

Sounds like the narrator's blaming other people for the way his life's turned out. When he says 'Bring me something, bring me something I can use Well here's one thing, but it's not the one I choose', it sounds like opportunities are presenting themselves but he's not taking them because it isn't exactly what he wanted, so he's waiting. 'Of all the people to let me down' might be him finally realising he's responsible.
