Lyrics

In a rut that I can't get out of Had a run of unfortunate luck Knocked down and I'm losing count of How many times I've had to get back up Two feet that are made for standing Two hands I can use as fists But I'm weak and I'm not a fighter And I'm old and I'm cold and I'm pissed I was young, I was thin, I was gorgeous I was out on the town for a laugh Hadn't learnt how it felt to be nervous How my chest closes up like a trap There were women, there were wine, there was singing There was me in the middle of it all That was then and now I'm clinging To the hope I haven't lost it all Now I'm standing taller Now I'm someone else Now I'm old and I'm wiser Now I can help myself Now I'm a proper grown-up Now I'm a real man Now I can cope with it all But I'm tryna get out if I can 'Cause I'm stuck And I wiggle like a fish on a hook And they're all lining up to take a look And I'm kicking and I'm screaming and I'm shook 'Cause I can't get away 'cause I'm stuck And I wiggle like a fish on a hook And they're all lining up to take a look And I'm kicking and I'm screaming and I'm shook And I wanna break free And I kick and I scream And I just can't leave 'Cause I'm stuck In the past I was uber-cocky Back then I didn't give a fuck Always thought it would turn up roses Never thought I would end up stuck As a kid always dreamed of riches Always thought I would reach the top Just love and screaming stardom Where the fans and the hits wouldn't stop I was young, I was thin, I was gorgeous Always knew it would take me far Had the look, had the gifts and the talent I was born for the life of a star Reality's a cold, hard bastard Brought me down to earth with a bang Never thought it would end up this way No one giving a fuck when I sang Now I'm standing taller Now I'm someone else Now I'm old and I'm wiser Now I can help myself Now I'm a proper grown-up Now I'm a real man Now I can cope with it all But I'm tryna get out if I can 'Cause I'm stuck And I wiggle like a fish on a hook And they're all lining up to take a look And I'm kicking and I'm screaming and I'm shook 'Cause I can't get away 'cause I'm stuck And I wiggle like a fish on a hook And they're all lining up to take a look And I'm kicking and I'm screaming and I'm shook And I wanna break free And I kick and I scream And I just can't leave 'Cause I'm stuck I'm standing taller I'm someone else I'm old and I'm wiser I can help myself I'm a proper grown-up I'm a real man I can cope with it all But I'm tryna get out if I can 'Cause I'm stuck I'm standing taller I'm someone else I'm old and I'm wiser I can help myself I'm a proper grown-up I'm a real man 'Cause there's a hundred million things That I can think of in this world That are worse than being stuck Stuck And I wiggle like a fish on a hook And they're all lining up to take a look And I'm kicking and I'm screaming and I'm shook 'Cause I can't get away 'cause I'm stuck And I wiggle like a fish on a hook And they're all lining up to take a look And I'm kicking and I'm screaming and I'm fucked And I wanna break free And I kick and I scream And I just can't leave 'Cause I'm stuck
