(1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4!) Doo doo, do-do Doo doo, do-do D-do do, doo doo I'm sure I've seen this look before Done a thousand times and a million more How many lies did you tell this time? How many times did you cross the line? It won't help me, but I have to ask Is there something real that's behind the mask? Something we don't know about A little faith in amongst the doubt And maybe someday you will grow Maybe someday you will know And maybe someday you will end these fears and go A little piece of me grows old, I keep on walking down this road I've seen a million people change But I will stay the same And I know you Know you always steal and borrow And I know you Know you never catch You're never gonna catch tomorrow I'm sure I've played this scene before I've seen this room, I've walked this floor I'm sure I used to hold your hand, did I hurt you? All this attitude with no history All this anger when you're attacking me Got a lot to learn, and ya got to know Your time is up, kid let it go And maybe someday you will grow Maybe someday you will know And maybe someday you will end these tears and go A little piece of me grows old, I keep on walking down this road I've seen a million people change But I will stay the same And I know you Know you always steal and borrow And I know you Know you never catch You're never gonna catch tomorrow (You're never gonna catch tomorrow) Whoa A little piece of me grows old, I keep on walking down this road I've seen a million people change But I will stay the same And I know you Know you always steal and borrow And I know you Know you never catch You're never gonna catch tomorrow Yeah the haircut's hot, but this has gotta stop Good shoes won't save ya this time I think you're gonna find, with everything combined that time Time's run out on this lie And I know you Know you always steal and borrow And I know you Know you never catch You're never gonna catch tomorrow Doo doo, do-do Doo doo, do-do D-do do, doo doo

ControversyWhile the song itself was not controversial, Lostprophets as a band became embroiled in controversy in 2012 when lead singer Ian Watkins was charged and later convicted with several child sex offenses.
