Victim of My Mind

Friday’s, a good day 
For leaving, I guess
I’ve passed on 20 promises
That I promised I’d keep for myself 

First the rains came 
Then the thunder
I’m not sure I’ll, beat this storm 
If I fade away to nothing
I can’t say I wasn’t warned

I’m a victim of my mind....
Or so it seems
My past keeps on reflecting back
On all my long lost dreams

I may not see tomorrow 
And I’m not sure, how I will find 
The answers that elude me
I’m a victim of my mind

I’m a victim of my mind 
A soul awaiting fire
The kind of man who understands 
I’ve given into desire

So don’t miss my loss I’ve loved you
And your heart will mend in time
I’m a man who loved, but I fell because
I’m a victim of my mind

The sorrow is strong and I’ve waited 
Hoping I’d get a sign
Why’s it feel like a crime, how’s a man become blind
I’m a victim of my mind 

I’m a man who once loved but I fell all because 
I’m a victim of my mind
