Mr. Atomic - How to Hold Yourself lyrics

The person standing here before you Is not the same kid you knew in years gone past It doesn't matter what you say I'm still giving up that game A shot gla** full of bitter things And your cold heart melts from broken dreams Your tattoo reads "self-destructive" I'm still giving up that game You don't want it But you need it You can have it So come and get it How far, how far will you go To prove the things you were never really meant to show Apathy can never last forever When opportunity is so much better You sit, and you cry, and you beg for your life There's so much more than words can bring to life And it's gold Once you know How to hold yourself The person standing here before you Is not the same kid you knew in years gone past I made a couple of changes before But now I've done it right A slam dunk with a thought in mind I really wonder if all that pressure was a tad unkind The curtain closes on this stage of your life And all you see is me You don't want it But you need it You can have it So come and get it How far, how far will you go To prove the things you were never really meant to show Apathy can never last forever When opportunity is so much better You sit, and you cry, and you beg for your life There's so much more than words can bring to life And it's gold Once you know How to hold yourself How far, how far will you go To prove the things you were never really meant to show Apathy can never last forever When opportunity is so much better You sit, and you cry, and you beg for your life There's so much more than words can bring to life And it's gold Once you know How to hold yourself
