As I look back at the end of the day
And think of all the things that I didn't say
I see everything that I did wrong
I didn't take a chance, now I'm stuck here for so long
And I wish that I would do what's right, just once
And I wish that I would put up a fight, just once
Maybe then I'll get what I want
But until then I'm just gonna sit here
And take the easy way out and don't look back
Take the easy way out and forget the past
Take the easy way out, start all over again
Take the easy way out, yeah just pretend
And I notice everyday's the same
But I've only got myself to blame
Maybe if I could break through
From all this mess, show me the truth
And I wish that I would do what's right, just once
And I wish that I would put up a fight, just once
Maybe then I'll get what I want
But until then I'm just gonna sit here
And take the easy way out and don't look back
Take the easy way out and forget the past
Take the easy way out, start all over again
Take the easy way out, yeah just pretend
