all of my life i've been singing
all of my life i've been hoping for more
more that what this life's bringing
how many nights will i lay awake?

i've seen plenty of doctors
and i've taken their drugs
i've seen God every sunday
and i know of his love

i've been climbing and falling
just a little more everytime
i've looked out of this cage i am in
and i'm still doing fine

i'm trying
trying my best
when crying
it get's better, better
slow dying
that's all that living is to me
no more lying to myself
about things that i'll never be

i have tried building bridges
it's not as easy as others make it seem
so i'm stuck in mid-verse
like a hearse that is carrying me

all this pain i am feeling
when will i finally break away?
cursing, screaming and reeling
so young but i know how much death takes away

from families

fathers who die when they're much too young
leaving daughters who cry when they're much too young
to know
to learn

same old chords and the same old rhyme
same old words in the same old time
maybe that's all that i have
maybe that's all that i'll ever have to offer

i'm sorry
for what i can't do and what i can't give
i'm sorry
for wanting to die when i'm trying to live
i'm sorry
for failing my mother and faking through love
i'm sorry
i'll try harder, i'll try harder

maybe the world is just joking

maybe i'll laugh when they're done x
