I had dinner tonight
With my previous life
And we talked about the weather
And he said that I'd changed
But I still feel the same
So I packed for my departure
I said I'm worried I was
Still that pessimest one
The kid who never bothered
And he looked in my eye
And he said "You and I
Both know you are no martyr
"But be that as it may
Soon you'll have gone away
And I'm making a bet that it won't be as bad as you say
I believe in you and I'm sure that you'll be great"
I'm a sinner tonight
But I never had time for religion
I've kept myself busy
Milking a mental condition
He said there's no shame
In using your pain
To make up for your disinterest
If one person here
Enjoys what they hear
Then you've finally made your difference
But be that as it may
This time has been a waste
So if it's all the same, I think that I will stay
And he raised his fist, and he punched me in the face
He said get up and don't look down
And get out there and make me proud
I'm making a bet that it won't be as bad as you say
I believe in you and I'm sure that you'll be great
