  • I'm just a toy waiting for you to play me
    I want to make, just make you happy
    There's no future I see with you in it
    I just don't fit, not the right plastic

    Oh, I'm not mad, lean on me, man
    Oh, I'm not mad, lean on me, man
    How many times I gotta listen to your mouth go?
    How many times? How many times? How many times?

    Turn the clocks back to the way things were
    I never wanted to be this me (erase, eraser)
    Show me back then, the kid before the man
    I don't think this me is who I am

    Oh, middle age, come bring me a crisis
    What am I worth? Does the truth hurt?
    Identity, ride the tails of disaster
    Ease on the clutch, who gives a fuck?

    Oh, I'm not mad, lean on me, man
    Oh, I'm not mad, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not

    I'll turn the clocks back to the way things were
    I never wanted to be this me (erase, eraser)
    Show me back then, the kid before the man
    I don't think this me is who I am, ha ha-ha

    Turn the clocks back to the way things were
    I never wanted to be this, and I never wanted to be this
    I never wanted to be this me

    Turn the clocks back to the way things were
    I never wanted to be this me (erase, eraser)
    Show me back then, the kid before the man
    I never wanted to be this, just erase this
    I never wanted to be this, just erase me Writer/s: Claudio Sanchez
