lifer

you worried i have given

have lsot direction for the cause

have traded truth for confidence

went back on all my promises

i am not old but i've become

afraid of things i never was

and stumbling on without a pause

can only go so long

did you say that i was the lifer

did you say that life could be better

it seems to those who know me best

my luck is wild and in excess

i don't why some suffer so

and others never fear to go

i won't reduce myself to air

undo myself for your affair

i've shown you everything i am

you choose or not to understand

there is a logic to the rule

the end is kind

the mean is cruel

i have to love the life i make

make up for all the space i take

mistaken for an oversight

the absence of my appetite

the source of all my arrogance

i left it up to chance

i believed that i was the lifer

i believed that life could be better

i want to see you rise again

to see life in your eyes again

to feel your pulse is beating strong

to prove all of us wrong

will you say that you are the lifer

do you think that life could be better

will you say that i am the lifer

do you think that life could be better
