No matter what I do
I can't redeem myself
Or how I try
Start over again
Strip clean - pick up the pieces
Who made the rules
Who decides
when I've made up
paid up
Ten months this time
twelve before
Few others could take much more
Do it right
When I'm not even given the chance
How can I
To correct the mistakes I've already made?
It's so hard to live up to standards
When you don't even know what they are
How can you expect me to change?
