[Verse 1]
All I wanted was to
Live without the
Middleman
All you needed was a

Chance to say, "I told you so"
When you're cold and
Battered all you want
Is to know you matter
To someone

[Chorus]
I had to throw away all
The plans we made and
Now these days
With marks against my
Shoulders I feel like
I'm older than I am

[Verse 2]
All I want right now
Is to be my own child
Do you think it makes
Me a better man just
To know I can be
Alone a while?
[Chorus]
And I had to throw away
All the plans we made
And now these days
With marks against my shoulders I feel like
I'm older than I am
