For many years I worked so hard for success
I was going through much pain and stress
But now I am wiser
People told me to carry on
I listened to 'em, cause I was strong, but now
Now I see
This is the story of my life
I must have been foolish
To believe this dirty lies they tell us all
This is the story of my life
I must have been foolish
To think that I could make it up this way
I went to school like everyone
I met a girl for more than just fun
And now it's all gone
I gave my best and worked real hard
They took advantage of it, left me apart
I feel like I'm going 'round in circles
This is the story of my life
I must have been foolish
To believe this dirty lies they tell us all
This is the story of my life
I must have been foolish
To think that I could make it up this way
This is the story of my life
I must have been foolish
To believe this dirty lies they tell us all
This is the story of my life
I must have been foolish
To think that I could make it up this way
