It seems like it never works out in the end 
But it's not like you've never been scarred 
Keep walking by and you keep asking why 
In the world are you trying so hard 

There's something inside that you're trying to hide 
'cuz you hope it will all turn out fine 
But I know one day the sun will rise 
On a perfect world and this will all be mine 

So when you're lying awake at night 
And you're trying to sleep 'cuz something's not right
Just keep on reminding yourself that you're there
And if God wants to punish you 
How many lifetimes will we waste away? 
How many prayers do I have to say? 
How many dreams are gonna have to burn? 
How many lifetimes does it take to learn? 
For anybody? 

So you've lost all the trust that took years to collect 
And you've lost all your dignity 
The dreams that I've locked in my head are all gone 
And I wonder what's happening 

But everyone cries and you finally decide 
That you just can't give in anymore 
And in that moment you realize 
That this has happened once before...
