I'm through, I'm wrapping it up
I've been beaten by my own game
A shame, I'm over my crush
I used to have a good time

I couldn't be bought
It was easy, was a given
I'm in, whatever the cost

But now the cards are stacking up
Against my inner politic
Tell me something good
I need it

I've been looking for the real thing
I'm done wasting all my time there
I keep dying for the real thing
It may not kill me but it might

And who, who, who, who, who
Tell me then
Who will lead me out when
I become oblivious, am I a fool?

Forever I pined
I thought I was better standing alone
Than standing on line
How much more of this heartache
Can I stand?

How long can I be visually positive
Until I'm making it up?
And I could die a complete unknown
Bury me the counterfeit
Spin the lie so I can believe it

I've been looking for the real thing
I'm done wasting all my time there
I keep dying for the real thing
It may not kill me but it might

And who, who, who, who, who
Tell me then
Who will lead me out when
I become oblivious, am I a fool?

Low, lower than down
Sicker than sick of being tired
And I could die a complete unknown
Bury me the counterfeit
Could have, would have, should have
I didn't

I've been looking for the real thing
I'm done wasting all my time there
I keep dying for the real thing
It may not kill me but it might

And who, who, who, who, who
Tell me then
Who will lead me out when
I become oblivious, am I a fool?
