Array ( [sid] => 17138 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => When will I learn? [time] => 2003-05-06 19:05:00 [hometext] => yeah... [bodytext] => Am I ever gonna learn
That I'm worth more than I accept?
When am I gonna learn
Not to settle for less?

I threw myself down
Into this pit
Of eternal pain and torment.
And now I lie at the bottom
Regretting every day of my existence
Wishing I had a different sentence,
Knowing I can't climb up the fallen distance.

Am I ever gonna learn?
I know I'm worth more than the scars that dance upon my skin.
When am I gonna learn?
I seem to get less than I give.

It's all my fault,
I'm my own dark omen
A haunting silhouette
With nails to scratch
Away at my sins,
Tainting my body.

Am I ever gonna learn?
When am I ever gonna learn?
Wake me up to reality,
Please, come and save me;
I'm blinded by the pain.

When will I learn?

Am I ever gonna learn
That I'm worth more than I accept?
When am I gonna learn
Not to settle for less?

I threw myself down
Into this pit
Of eternal pain and torment.
And now I lie at the bottom
Regretting every day of my existence
Wishing I had a different sentence,
Knowing I can't climb up the fallen distance.

Am I ever gonna learn?
I know I'm worth more than the scars that dance upon my skin.
When am I gonna learn?
I seem to get less than I give.

It's all my fault,
I'm my own dark omen
A haunting silhouette
With nails to scratch
Away at my sins,
Tainting my body.

Am I ever gonna learn?
When am I ever gonna learn?
Wake me up to reality,
Please, come and save me;
I'm blinded by the pain.
