let's just live

it used to feel like a fairy tale

now it seems we were just pretending

we'd fix our world

then on our way to a happy ending

then it turned out life was far less like a bedtime story

than a tragedy with no big reveal of the hero's glory

and it seems we weren't prepared

for a game that wasn't fair

do we just go home? can we follow through?

when all hope is gone

there is one thing we can do

let's just live day by day and not be conquered by our sorrows

the past can't hold us down

we must break free

inside we're torn apart

but time will mend our hearts

move onward

not there yet

so let's just live

can we get back to a happy place? we've suffered so much pain and sorrow

after yesterday is there any way we can trust tomorrow?

will we go through life filled with strife like it's torn and tattered?

can we keep this up when we all know that every hope has shattered?

and the lesson isn't new

that some dreams just can't come true

when it finally falls and the battle's through

when our faith is gone and there's nothing left to lose

let's just live day by day and not be conquered by our sorrows

the past can't hold us down

we must break free

inside we're torn apart

but time will mend our hearts

move onward

not there yet

so let's just live

when it feels like there's nothing worth living for

everything is broken

the light's not there anymore

and the story takes an unexpected turn

a friend is suddenly gone

we can cry our lives away

but if they were here they'd say

go forward. you must keep moving on"
