The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wish you all the luck, though it’ll pass you by
Why did you have to suck? You didn’t even try
To hold on to the best that’s ever come your way
Afraid to face the test, you waste another day
And you won’t know what’s lost until it’s all too late
And you’ll come crawling back to watch me shut the gate
I gave you all my love, now welcome to my hate and your sad fate
Such a hard place to be, but it’s where you will stay
In a world without me, if you leave me this way
It’s a hard place to be, and it’s where you will stay
In a world without me, if you leave me this way
No one to do you right, no one to give you all
No one to pick you up if whenever you should fall
No one to clean you up and cover up your tracks
No one to hold you up and always have your back
No reason to achieve and not to self destroy
No need to be a man and not remain a boy
You’re free to treat your life like a toy while crying: oi, oi, oi!
It’s a hard place to be, and it’s where you will stay
In a world without me, if you leave me this way
Such a hard place to be, but it’s where you will stay
In a world without me, if you leave me this way
No one to show you that you are not born to lose
Now I will leave you to what wretched path you choose
No one to show you that you you’re made of so much more
You want a life of less so, honey, there’s the door
I wonder where you’ll go whatever way you’ll fail
To rot 6 feet below or maybe rot in jail
I had you on the right track now you’ve chosen the third rail
It’s a hard place to be, and it’s where you will stay
In a world without me, if you leave me this way
Such a hard place to be, but it’s where you will stay
In a world without me, if you leave me this way
