Lyrics
The farther I go, the further you get away from who we really are
The more I distance myself, the more we lose touch with our true selves.
I choose a different route, a different path in life
I opt for a different journey, a distinct life path.
Praised by many, yet still labeled an outcast
Despite receiving praise, I'm still viewed as an outsider or misfit.
The things that last never happen overnight
Meaningful things take time to develop; they don't happen suddenly.
These calloused hands built the foundation of my life
My experienced and tough hands laid the groundwork for my existence.
Abandoned for love, left with no advice
Abandoned in the name of love, left without guidance or counsel.
How quickly we change overnight
Signifying the rapidity with which people can change.
Make me out to be the bad guy
Portray me as the antagonist.
How long can I wear the blame?
How long must I bear the responsibility and fault?
Sick of feeling wrong
Fed up with the constant feeling of being incorrect or mistaken.
Why do they judge me all the same?
Questioning why others consistently pass judgment on me.
Nobody's perfect, trying to justify myself
Acknowledging imperfection, attempting to rationalize my actions.
to the ones who will never, never understand
Addressing those who will never comprehend or empathize.
Who will never
Reiteration of the previous line, emphasizing the lack of understanding.
The things that last never happen overnight
Repeating the idea that lasting things take time to unfold.
These calloused hands built the foundation of my life
Emphasizing the enduring impact of hands that have endured hardship.
Abandoned for love, left with no advice
Expressing being forsaken due to love, devoid of guidance.
How quickly we change overnight
Highlighting the swiftness of personal transformations.
Torture myself, that's what I feel I'm worth
Conveying a sense of self-inflicted suffering, questioning personal value.
Torture myself, well aware that the pain is somewhere else
Awareness of self-inflicted pain, recognizing it's displaced from the source.
You can root for the villain, I'll take that title
Choosing to embrace the role of the antagonist, accepting the challenge.
I'll take the heat now and be your rival
Willing to endure criticism and become a competitor for your attention.
The things that last never happen overnight
Reiterating that lasting achievements don't happen suddenly.
These calloused hands built the foundation of my life
Stressing the enduring impact of hands that have endured hardship.
Abandoned for love, left with no advice
Expressing abandonment in the name of love, lacking guidance.
How quickly we change overnight
Reiterating the theme of rapid personal change overnight.
