It's been a bit of a while since I seen you smile
|
It's been too long baby what went wrong
|
Tell me how it got spoilt
|
Tell me when it went bad
|
How to get back to the times that we had
|
|
We were both young
|
And our spirits were bold
|
Now we're just angry and we act like we're old
|
We can't even talk it out without one of us walking away
|
|
When you were 18 I just turned 29
|
I was fresh out the coffin and
|
Girl you were so fine
|
The future was bright
|
The world, it seemed new
|
I was with some other woman
|
I was thinking of you
|
I knew how it hurts
|
I knew how it feels
|
I knew it how aches
|
Cos the heart never heals
|
And we're so busy screaming that we don't hear the words that we say
|
|
Taking out lumps
|
Took a few blows
|
Hit a few bumps
|
Had our fair share of woes
|
We tried to see good
|
Through all of the bad
|
Put on our smiles
|
Pretend we're not sad
|
We gotta be tough
|
We gotta be strong
|
We gotta be right
|
Can't afford to be wrong
|
It's hard to sing the blues
|
When you're hearing bad news everyday
|
|
We worry too much for one couple to bear
|
Hunger so much for one person to care
|
Fooling our family
|
We're fooling our friends
|
Pray that the pain and the frustration ends
|
Hope is a chance
|
Hope is a dream
|
Hope is a drug
|
Maybe hope's a vaccine
|
In the race against time I get down on my knees and I pray
|
|
Shout at the devil
|
I curse the lord
|
Offer them everything I can afford
|
I'd sell out my soul
|
I lighten to see
|
Tried to be righteous
|
Tried to believe
|
Prayed every prayer
|
Kicked all of my highs
|
For hours I'd stare at those beautiful eyes
|
All of my problems seem to be melting away
|
The smile on her face says daddy everything is okay
|
