lyrics
You wake up bored with your life,
You always think you're right,
But what you're scared to know,
Is one day I will go.
'Cause you see everything through only your eyes,
Control everyone with your little lies.
But i'm not a dice to throw,
And i'm not an ace to play,
I'm not yours to own,
I'm not the one that got away,
I'm not a sounding board,
And i'm not a hand to hold,
'Cause I am a human being,
So don't be so cold.
And when there's nobody left,
You won't take a backwards step,
But what you need to do,
Is analyse what i've been through.
'Cause you seem convinced that everything's fine,
But now I know that i've wasted my time.
'Cause i'm not a dice to throw,
And i'm not an ace to play,
I'm not yours to own,
I'm not the one that got away,
I'm not a sounding board,
And i'm not a hand to hold,
'Cause I am a human being,
So don't be so cold.
You told me that you changed,
You lied then and you’ve lied again,
And though you’re a part of me,
It’s the part that makes me feel,
Like I can’t do anything,
And that I’m worth nothing,
I don’t know how you can’t see,
Everything that you’ve done to me.
But you’ve taught me…
That i'm not a dice to throw,
And i'm not an ace to play,
I'm not yours to own,
I'm not the one that got away,
I'm not a sounding board,
And i'm not a hand to hold,
'Cause I am a human being,
So don't be so cold.
