lyrics

I wanna hear your life story; start at the beginning.
I wanna hear about your fall from glory; I wanna hear about your life-long longing
Just remember, the story isn’t over yet. Call off all of your bets.
You ain’t a thing like me. You’re not a living shadow living off dead dreams.

Even the deepest cuts heal over time
The scar remains, but the broken skin will bridge the divide.
Your heart’s not skin, but it’s been broken and it’s been cut
If you don’t screw your head on straight you’re gonna walk off a cliff with your eyes wide shut

Broken bottles and empty hearts
Endless cycle of false starts
Going down and growing up
Out of love and out of luck

I know getting up is harder every time
But you’re gonna have to do it if you don’t want a life like mine
Every time you get knocked down you lose self-control
The world spins, you can feel it as it goes and goes and goes

There is little that I can say; she will not see me.
I’m a liar and a cheat. I thought of love as free.
I let her heart open and then betrayed her trust
I rubbed it in the mud and filled it in with dust

Every time I gaze on a woman’s eye, I see nothing but her.
I am paralyzed by the disgrace and the hurt
That I caused her, and how it came to be
That now she wants nothing, nothing, nothing to do with me

This is my story. This is my tale.
The one time I tried. Don't know how I failed.
I told her I was sorry. She told me I'd be fine.
Despite our best efforts we never stopped lying.

I can’t say everything is gonna be all right
There are some things we can’t predict, that evade our foresight
But that don’t mean that you can lay down and let go
Every day you've gotta try harder and learn to grow!
