Tragic Figure
By Shaney McCoy © 2009


Please remind me one more time how I’m supposed to feel
And what it is you want me to say
‘Cause you left me hanging by a thread for all the world to see
And rock bottom was just a jump away
And I pray to God I’ve seen the worst and lived to tell
‘Cause I can’t take one more trip through hell.

Chorus:
But I won’t be your tragic figure, I won’t be a pawn in your game
I’ve stood by the lake of fire and I will never be the same
I won’t let you take my spirit, I won’t let you have my mind
One of us may crumble but it won’t be me this time

Who’d have thought my darkest hour could go on for years
Or that the sun could stay away so long
And isn’t there a limit to the times that you can feel
Things are right when everything is wrong
And I’m sick and tired of whistling as I walk between the graves
I’ve got to get these ghosts out of my way

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
It won’t be me, no it won’t be me,
if you’d take your eyes off of yourself you’d see

Repeat Chorus
