|
Such potential wasted |
|
On feeling chasing nothing |
|
On a fleeting moment chasing nothing |
|
And we prefer a lie |
|
We prefer a lie |
|
Over the truth about you and I |
|
We beg for lies |
|
(We beg for lies, we beg for lies) |
|
We pay for lies |
|
And we want more |
|
(We've forgotten our colors) |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Life can be cruel |
|
Time can be unforgiving |
|
But we hold out hope for the sake of another |
|
To be alive is to be conflicted |
|
To be alive |
|
You must find something worth fighting for |
|
Something worth fighting for |
|
Let's do art for art's sake |
|
And make melodies |
|
From music we've heard |
|
Somewhere in our dreams |
|
(Somewhere in our dreams) |
|
We the poor find riches in our dreams |
|
But are your dreams even your own? |
|
Have you forgotten to question everything? |
|
We have forgotten our place |
|
we have forgotten the taste of life |
|
All for a lie |
|
(We've forgotten our colors) |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Life can be cruel |
|
Time can be unforgiving |
|
But we hold out hope for the sake of another |
|
To know life |
|
You must give yours away |
|
To be free |
|
You must let go and realize |
|
We're not here to stay |
|
Nothing lasts forever |
|
[X2:] |
|
Yesterday is gone |
|
Like tomorrow will be gone |
|
Like today will soon be gone |
|
Like you and I will soon be gone |
|
Yesterday is gone |
|
Wake up |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Life can be cruel |
|
Time can be unforgiving |
|
But we hold out hope for the sake of another |
|
To know life |
|
You must give yours away |
|
To be free |
|
You must let go and realize |
|
We're not here to stay |
|
Nothing lasts forever |
|
Yesterday is gone |
