Im looking back to the start of how it all became so damn unkind 



to take another line out of another story with intent to call it mine



It seems these days are getting longer without you by my side, 



and yet it hurts so badly when I have to tell you that I feel much more alive

Take another example from an understanding that youll find 



by giving up on someone and the loss of value just to help you pass the time



I cant imagine the thought of hanging on



Tell me something so I can make it wrong



Heaven help me Im starting to prolong, even in this song

I miss my friends, and though this anger never ends, 



Ill drink it up once more to what has been



Another day left wondering; is this how it is and will it ever change?

Im sick of getting old, its time to up and go



This time Ill get it right and stick to what I know



Ive taken everything in spite of what I need



Its like Im living in West Side Story



And everything else inside keeps turning on what seems right, 



enough to realize again, this is just a fight thats never gonna end

This isnt a line, or tale, or understatement of the year; 



its just a memory of the forgotten times that helps me make my story clear



I cant imagine the thought of hanging on



Tell me something so I can make it wrong



Heaven help me Im starting to prolong, even in this song

Im taking the long walk home this one last time



And thinking of better days that leave me blind



Ive taken a turn on life thats still not within my reach



Enough to realize this sure makes sense to me
