Fate
Long Shot Hero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And now my future hangs in the balance of my actions
And i've never been so scared to be responsible
A life once led, now fallen apart, before it had the chance to start
And now my future hangs in the balance of my actions
And i've never been so scared to be responsible
So now i don't know what to say, it seems it's too late anyway
No idea what to even do, cause i've fucked up things with me and you
And i'm not sure what i've been put here for and that's fine with me for now
I lost all sight of where to be, that never did mean much to me
And now my future hangs in the balance of these actions
Fuck it, i never want to be responsible
