We all have stories that we will never tell
From the bottom line fear is the heart of hell
I was down and out but the world did not fall apart
And now there is not a single thing to frown about
You know my name but not my story
You know everything I've done
You know my name but not what I have been through
What I have been through
By the time you want me to be, to be in your life, to be in your life again
Someday you will see
By the time you will understand that I will be gone, I will be gone again
Life is too awesome to waste your time away
Someday this pain will make sense to you
I was down and out, but the world did not fall apart
And now there is not a single thing to frown about
You want me to be in your life again
But I will be in someone else's
By the time you want me to be, to be in your life, to be in your life again
Someday you will see
By the time you will understand that I will be gone, I will be gone again
By the time you want to tell me, (and you want me to see)
By the time you will understand that I will be gone, I will be gone again
By the time you want me to be in your life again (x2)
