Sooner or Later - Breaking Benjamin

I want a normal life

Just like a newborn child

I am like a lover hater

I am an instigator

You are an oversight

Don't try to compromise

I'll learn to love to hate it

I am not integrated

Just call my name

You'll be okay

Your scream is burning through my veins

Sooner or later

You're gonna hate it

Go ahead and throw your life away

Driving me under

Leaving me out there

Go ahead and throw your life away

You're like an infantile

I knew it all the while

You sit and try to play me

Just like you see on TV

I am an oversight

Just like a parasite

Why am I so pathetic

I know you won't forget it

Just call my name

You'll be okay

Your scream is running through my veins

Sooner or later

You're gonna hate it

Go ahead and throw my life away

Driving me under

Leaving me out there

Go ahead and throw my life away

Sooner or later

You're gonna hate it

Go ahead and throw our life away

Driving me under

Leaving me out there

Go ahead and throw our life away

You throw our life away

You throw our life away

Someone's in a tight predicament, and they want out of it. He lies to himself and says he's okay, when really he's about to implode inside. He learns to cope with what is going wrong instead of trying to patch up areas that need fixing. He knew all along what was happening, and he hopes that the person of wrongdoing never forgets what they have done, that he's always haunting them in the back of their mind. Not only did it cause them to waste their life away, but his too. Your life, my life, our life. It's all gone, but he wants it back. He wants it back to he can break away and start over new, forget about the past and look onward towards a better future.

"It's about being not right. Looking at people that have everyday jobs and do normal things and you are grateful for being a musician but at the same time you want to not tour, you want to go to a job, do your job, and come home to your wife and kids kind of thing, you know?"
