Tale of My Own Lyrics

This is the tale of a man who'd been beat down and broke

A man who can no longer stand on his own all alone

I'm here on my own

"Tell me the price of your soul and has it yet been sold"

"I'll pay with your dreams, and I'll turn your life gold"

Satan spoke

"The world you will hold"

"And no one will know"

Now my first mistake, I turned to vices of all kind

You name it I let 'em win

I turned to sin anything to fit in

My first loss from within

Is where our story begins

And now I'm washed up and never made it

The dream of fame was cocaine to my brain

Consequence my heart pays

And we learn my fate

This is the tale of a man who'd been beat down and broke

A man who can no longer stand on his own all alone

I'm here on my own

"Tell me the price of your soul and has it yet been sold"

"I'll pay with your dreams, and I'll turn your life gold"

Satan spoke

"The world you will hold"

And I've got stories and fancy tales you won't believe

I've got stories of when I still believed my dreams

And they're all- they're all of a man I once was

My eagerness had got the best of me

Ego was the death of me

I lost everything that I had chasing dreams

Had I known to wait for my throne

But I feared the unknown

So, this is the tale of a man who'd been beat down and broke

A man who no longer could stand on his own all alone

I'm still here on my own

I told him the price was my dreams and I needed that gold

He paid what he owed but now life is so cold

Now I know and that's all she wrote

So don't play these devil's games

Don't play these devil's games Oh I'm so Ashamed

Oh, oh my God

I'm here on my own
