You were warned from the day you were born
|
You were to young so you blew it off
|
You were told you were gold but as you got old
|
You discovered that you were to soft
|
|
Delusions of greatness and grandeur
|
Life can be hard just to live
|
Demanding standards you'll never deliver
|
If you had two of them to give
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Nothing can prepare you for this
|
You were way off of your guard
|
Like it or not, it's how you were caught
|
Now try not to take it to hard
|
|
An accident no longer willing
|
No longer willing to wait
|
The recipe was for disaster
|
Disaster was out on the plate
|
|
Going down in a downward direction
|
The momentums been taking its toll
|
Passed the plate to take up a collection
|
It's been spiraling out of control
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
|
The bottom was coming up quick
|
I guess it just has to be hit
|
The secret the key and the trick
|
Is learning to deal with it
|
|
It's uphill from this point on out
|
And the pinnacles up at the top
|
It hasn't been reached, only practiced and preached
|
So at this point you might want to stop
|
|
You might but might I suggest
|
I suggest it's best just to climb
|
Continue you've still got it in you
|
And be thankful you've still got the time
|
You've still got the time
|
|
Nothing can prepare you for this (Ohh oh)
|
You were way off of your guard (Ohh oh)
|
Like it or not, it's how you were caught
|
Now try not to take it to hard (Still got the time)
|
