Some say life is what you make it
Some say life is for the taking
As for me, I'm only getting by

Somewhere somebody is waiting
Somewhere someone is escaping
As for me, I'm only killing time
Its your time

Sometimes you set the bar too high
Well better luck next time
Looks like you took the turn too wide
Better luck next time
Another dent is in your pride

Searching headlights on the ceiling
I need something more revealing
'Cause I feel stranded here in my own life
In my life

Better luck next time

 

Here we go
Closer to the end
Let me know
I'll be your only friend
Things you thought you understood
Are all the things I lack
So sorry

And I'd leave it all behind
With no regard for what I'll find
In time you'll see
That you can't breathe without me
Life and times go by

Well I know nothing is okay
Will it show if I try to numb the pain?
Things you thought you understood
Are all the things I'm not
So sorry
And so afraid

memories and silence fills each room
overwhelming heavy as the tidal waves consume
buried underneath the dust & gloom
relics are reminders of my family of two

pictures of a happy bride and groom
ferry rides around the harbor on our honeymoon
wedding gifts of pots and pans
sleeping while were holding hands
as gracie lays upon us as we spoon

how could i ever be so blind that i could not see
how could i ever stray from what has meant so much to me
how could i ever gain her trust without the guarantees
of who i am or where i'll be

so now we live in fear of the unknown
insecure and skepticle her trust in me was blown
despite the past we face we both have grown
through the pain to find the strength together or alone

how could i ever be so blind that i could not see
how could i ever stray from what has meant so much to me
how could i ever gain her trust without the guarantees
of who i am or where i'll be

how could i ever be so blind that i could not see
how could i ever stray from what has meant so much to me
how could i ever gain her trust without the guarantees
of who i am or where i'll be
 

Don't it make you sad
To lose the things you love
For what you never had?

Don't it make you cry
To feel the broken tie
And always wonder why?

Don't it make you feel
Like your hands are off the wheel?
Like your hands are off the wheel
Don't it tear you down?
Don't it turn your world around?
Don't it love to let you down?

Don't it make your day
To gather up your strength
And feel it slipping away?

How much can you take
Before you fall apart,
Before you start to break?

Close your eyes its only
No surprise you're not alone

Don't it make you sad
To lose the ones you love?

Don't it make you feel
Like its tearing you down?

Like your hands are off the wheel
 

some of us never see the light
until it's out of sight
give up without a fight
some of use fall and never get up
swear that it's not their fault
swear that it's not their fault

evolution will turn your life around
from feeling safe and sound
to the lost and found
you and me, well, we are the same
I feel your loss, your joy, your pain
shouldering the blame

cuz, I've been there
never again, never again
will I allow myself to drown

some of us never take advice
so then we pay the price
with every toss of the dice
some of us never see the light
until it's out of sight
give up without a fight

evolution will turn your life around

will I allow myself to drown
cuz, I've wasted too much time
too many years of my life letting others down
