When the moment started
It creeps up
When you least expect to fail
You try to tell yourself
That you are selfless
But that's the big mistake
That sets your sail
The signs are all around you
But you miss them
You turn your back
On every friend you know
The games you play
To justify your madness
Will leave you crying
For the pain that grows
[Chorus:]
Twenty-five years, twenty-five years
I tried to be a man and face my fears
Twenty-five years, twenty-five years
I've had the devil on my back for twenty five years
For when you fall
You have to reach the bottom
And count your blessings
That you're still alive
That's when you look
To someone who was with you
At every single step
Right by your side
It's said from this you grow
Inside much stronger
That may be true
But I am still so weak
There's days that seem
So endless makes me wonder
Will something come
To close this losing streak
[Repeat chorus]
I'm tired and so lonely
From this journey
And still can't figure out
Some things I've said
But all I know
Is there's a place that's calling
I'll find that place
And rest my weary head
Twenty-five years
Twenty-five years
I tried to be a man
And face my fears
Twenty-five years
Twenty-five years
I've had the devil on my back
For twenty five years
I can't remember When the moment started It creeps up When you least expect to fail You try to tell yourself That you are selfless But that's the big mistake That sets your sail The signs are all around you But you miss them You turn your back On every friend you know The games you play To justify your madness Will leave you crying For the pain that grows [Chorus:] Twenty-five years, twenty-five years I tried to be a man and face my fears Twenty-five years, twenty-five years I've had the devil on my back for twenty five years For when you fall You have to reach the bottom And count your blessings That you're still alive That's when you look To someone who was with you At every single step Right by your side It's said from this you grow Inside much stronger That may be true But I am still so weak There's days that seem So endless makes me wonder Will something come To close this losing streak [Repeat chorus] I'm tired and so lonely From this journey And still can't figure out Some things I've said But all I know Is there's a place that's calling I'll find that place And rest my weary head Twenty-five years Twenty-five years I tried to be a man And face my fears Twenty-five years Twenty-five years I've had the devil on my back For twenty five years Explain Request ×
