Can you stand up straight and proud

in your decisions that you've made

don't hold back, scream out loud

if you broke down

it happens once or twice

get your head out of its vise

if you don't you might see the worst is to come

you fade in regret

Not a good thing to hold on

were you late with the rent

but found some way to drink

so they carry you home

and will you ever stray

from love songs of pain

don't quit when they say

it's the best you'll ever know

your heads hanging low and why

do you feel hung out to dry

can you afford to die a little inside

and you will rant and rave

don't wear yourself out

you should save your breath so that you can call out for help

you fade in regret

not a good thing to hold on

were you late with the rent

but found some way to drink

so that they carry you home and will you ever stray from love songs of pain

don't quit when they say

it's the best you'll ever know

please don't let it go

it's the best you'll ever know
