[Verse 1]
Ask me a question – I will answer with a lie
You call me your saviour – you can kiss you dreams goodbye
You call me your hero – I will always let you down
When you need someone to lean on – I’ll never be around
[Bridge]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
You think you can trust me – I’ll stab you in the back
You need me to calm you – I’ll cause you a heart attack
You try to hold on to me – I’ll always let you go
You think that you’re in control – I will always run the show
[Chorus]
Getting closer day by day
Moving a little closer step by step
My path is written in the stars
Not an inkling of regret
[Verse 3]
You think I’m harmless – I am wild pent up rage
You think I’m friendly – I need to be kept in a cage
You think I’m innocent – I’m a guilty, horrid man
You think you’ll change me – I am someone you can’t understand
[Chorus]
There’s only one direction
I’ve committed crimes and you’d never tell
But each day that I walk this Earth
I’m getting closer to Hell
[Verse 4]
[Instrumental]
[Bridge – angry yelling singing]
Nobody knows me – leave me alone
I’m battling my demons – on my own
I’ll fight my way through life – take what I can
I’ll be the last man to fall – that’s the plan
No matter who tries to get in my way
I’ll be the one laughing by the end of the day
I might give the impression that I’m a nice guy
But I’ll say and do anything to survive
[Chorus]
Getting closer day by day
Moving a little closer step by step
My path is written in the stars
Not an inkling of regret
There’s only one direction
I’ve committed crimes and you’d never tell
But each day that I walk this Earth
I’m getting closer to Hell
OHHHH!
[Chorus – last chorus, more passion, some ad-libs]
Getting closer day by day
Moving a little closer step by step
My path is written in the stars
Not an inkling of regret
There’s only one direction
I’ve committed crimes and you’d never tell
But each day that I walk this Earth
I’m getting closer to Hell
