For My Own Good Video (MV)

Ten years had passed since I left from my home in the spring of 2002
I was young and naive, wore my heart on my sleeve
And my dreams were a fading tattoo
My mama expected a phone call each weak while my dad kept his distance from me
He said to me son, only good things will come just as long as you follow your dreams
What a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie
Cause I've tried and I've tried and I tried ooh I tried
I'm not that boy looking back up at you
My eyes are bloodshot red
My heart has turned blue
So mama please give me just the truth if you would
I swear to you that this time
It's for my own good
It's for my own good
It's for my own good
It's for my own good
At twenty-three years I thought maybe I'm close
So I packed up my life and I moved up the coast
I was closer to her but still miles away from myself
Ahhhhhhhhhh
I lost my voice then lost my vision
Dragged my feet where I once was driven
My family said to me it's just a matter of time
What a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie
Try and try you can try oooh I tried
I'm not that boy looking back up at you my eyes are bloodshot red
And now my heart has turned blue
So mama please give me just the truth if you would
I swear to you that this time
It's for my own good
It's for my own good
It's for my own good
It's for my own good
I'm not that boy looking back up at you my eyes are bloodshot red
And now my heart has turned blue
So mama please give me just the truth if you would
I swear that you've made me blind
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh daadaadaadaa
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh daadaadaadaa
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh daadaadaadaa
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh daadaadaadaa
