I know my eyes have bear witness to this whole scene before.
|
When the road ends the nightmare begins.
|
The fighting never stops and I will never truly win.
|
|
"But make it count. It¡¯s plain to see."
|
Sorry, but it¡¯s not the most beautiful view from my knees.
|
Tried to be a friend but I¡¯m shot down again.
|
I'm sorry, for a second I thought I was supposed to believe in me.
|
|
State roads, provide me with the privacy that I¡¯ve never known.
|
Going through the motions across the oceans,
|
Or being so fed up with missing her I¡¯m staying home.
|
Lost at sea, I miss my family.
|
My house and my street are so far away from me.
|
Tried to be a friend but I¡¯m shot down again.
|
I'm sorry, for a second I thought I was supposed to believe in me.
|
|
I tried hard just to tell you the truth
|
But I know more now than I ever knew.
|
I keep telling myself to forget about you.
|
|
You and me were just a couple of kids who said,
|
¡°We can do anything,¡± and that¡¯s what we did.
|
But my life will be a rock on your headstone,
|
Begging you to never rise again.
|
|
"But make it count. It¡¯s plain to see."
|
Sorry, but it¡¯s not the most beautiful view from my knees.
|
Tried to be a friend but I¡¯m shot down again.
|
I'm sorry, for a second I thought I was supposed to believe in me.
|
Sorry, but I'm packing up and I'm leaving.
