Lyrics
The farther I go, the further you get away from who we really are
The more I distance myself, the more you deviate from our true selves.
I choose a different route, a different path in life
I've chosen a different way, a different life path.
Praised by many, but still labeled an outcast
Despite being praised by many, I'm still considered an outsider.
The things that last never happen overnight
Things of value take time to develop; they don't happen suddenly.
These calloused hands built the foundation of my life
My rough hands have laid the groundwork for my life.
Abandoned for love, left with no advice
Abandoned for love, left without guidance or counsel.
How quickly we change overnight
Highlighting the rapid nature of personal change overnight.
Make me out to be the bad guy
Others portray me as the antagonist.
How long can I wear the blame?
How long can I endure being blamed for things?
Sick of feeling wrong
Fed up with constantly feeling incorrect.
Why do they judge me all the same?
Questioning why others judge me in the same way.
Nobody's perfect, trying to justify myself to the ones who will never
Nobody is flawless; attempting to explain myself to those who won't comprehend.
never understand
Emphasizing the lack of understanding from certain individuals.
Who will never
Reiteration of the previous line for emphasis.
The things that last never happen overnight
Repeating the idea that lasting things take time to evolve.
These calloused hands built the foundation of my life
My resilient hands have formed the basis of my life.
Abandoned for love, left with no advice
Left without guidance or counsel due to being abandoned for love.
How quickly we change overnight
Reiterating the swiftness of personal transformation overnight.
Torture myself, that's what I feel I'm worth
Expressing a feeling of self-inflicted torment, implying a sense of low self-worth.
Torture myself, well aware that the pain is somewhere else
Aware that the pain is internal, not external.
You can root for the villain, I'll take that title
Accepting the role of the antagonist, willing to bear the consequences.
I'll take the heat now and be your rival
Willing to face criticism and opposition to be a rival or competitor.
The things that last never happen overnight
Repeating the idea that enduring things take time to develop.
These calloused hands built the foundation of my life
Reiterating the role of my hands in shaping the foundation of my life.
Abandoned for love, left with no advice
Left without guidance or counsel due to being abandoned for love.
How quickly we change overnight
Highlighting the rapid nature of personal change overnight once again.
