everyday we just walk alongside life
waiting for something to change
but when things go wrong
we wonder why there is pain
there goes the chances you didn't take
there goes the days you had to fake
there goes the memories that were really always in your head
everyday we wish that it could be different
but were too scared to make the change
and when our hopes run away
we wonder why there is pain
there goes the innocence we had with youth
there goes the days spent just sitting on the roof
there goes the dreams that made up our lives
why did those memories have to die
everyday we think up a new story
one all grand and filled with glory
but when the victorious knife turns on us
we wonder why there is so much gory.
there goes the days just wasted away
there goes your life, all without your say
there goes the thoughts that made up so much of you
there goes all the things that were once new
everyday we struggle to love and trust
but when a burning hatred turns to lust
it's already too late, they've gotten away
there goes the nights you spent all alone
there goes all the days spent waiting by the phone
we're all waiting for something
even if it's just a little jingle, a little ring
but what happens when the crown is gone
what happens when everything you thought to be true
is really just a lie and there never really will be a blue moon
what happens when the life of mine with rises and downfalls steadies to a
straight, straight, line.
