Flawless Victory

you took my breath away
and I've never felt so empty
like I do now. it feels my
failures never end

games for years i've played and lost
gained 30 lives but at what cost?
all these fears i've tied to my heels
they slowly pull me down

i wanna try but it never makes it easier
i walked through fire but it's never good enough for her

even though i don't know why
my best-laid plans will go awry
i turn my head up to the sky
i cross my heart and hope to try

i promise this will be
my flawless victory

my opportunities
are far and few between
my heightened hopes and all my
countless broken dreams

maybe it's time for me
to grow up and face the music
there's more to life than
building up and letting myself down

this time there's no counting on hindsight
and my excuses don't make things alright
