The fear starts closing in
The pain knocks me off my feet
I give up, yes, you win
I have finally been beat

I didn't do this for fun
This wasn't my choice
Forgive me if I run
I was going to have first place

The dark is too bright
My life has abandoned me
Oh, please, grant me my sight
This isn't how it was supposed to be

Everything was balanced on this line
Now it has snapped in two
I was going to finally be the one to shine
Now all the glory belongs to you

I didn't do this for fun
This wasn't my choice
Forgive me if I run
I was going to have first place

I've lost for the final time, it's too late
It was too soon, driven by my memories
Now forever filled with eternal hate
There is nothing left for me to see

Destiny breaks within my hands
My failure is worth my life
It slips through my fingers like sand
Just let me say goodbye
Just let me say goodbye

I didn't do this for fun
This wasn't my choice
Forgive me if I run
I was going to have first place

Some of them cheer, some of them cry
They all know what will take place
They all know on the morrow I die
They all know the truth we face

The ones that cry, I must speak with
And say all I that I have left
There is time left for just one kiss
Before my life is taken and these ears deaf

I didn't do this for the cost
This wasn't my choice
Forgive me for my loss
I was going to have first place

Just let me say goodbye....
