Have you ever told your mom – that she was stupid.
Though you didn’t mean it at all – just angry and confused.
And you locked yourself in your room – with too much to feel and nothing to do.
Have you ever let someone down – not like you meant to.
But like “not being around” – when they really needed you.
But don’t put yourself down – too much to feel yet something to do.
Have you ever confessed your sins – And afterwards
Did it make you feel better within – I hardly think so
You probably went and did it again – too much to feel and too much to do
= Cuz we’re only gonna die – we’re only gonna loose.
Although you try and try – there’s nothing you can do
I hope you’re fond of your life – cuz in the end it won’t be alright.
No in the end it won’t be alright...
there will be a reason you’re gonna die!
So just look back and laugh – we’re only gonna die.
And it’s not what you feel – but what you were feeling at the time.
No it’s not what you know – but what you were thinking at the time.
So spend more time making laughs - and less time wondering why you’re sad.
= Cuz we’re only gonna die – we’re only gonna loose
Although we try and try – there’s nothing we can do
I hope you’re fond of your life – cuz in the end it won’t be alright.
No in the end it won’t be alright...
there will be a reason we’re gonna die!
