Oh lord can I be forgiven
For wanting the perfect life story the perfect one
All my life I've been waiting
I've been holding on for something
Holding on
This may not be LA
No diamonds and champagne
I'm hustling for money
Hoping to get happy
In the cold of the night
Under the stars we all dream and cling to the light
Falling in midflight
Just when we thought we could fly
Oh lord can I be forgiven
For wanting the perfect life story the perfect one
All my life I've been waiting
I've been holding on for something
Holding on
Shot down in winter
Back on my feet in spring
Life is like butter (you know it melts away)
Taste good but it don't stay
As the dawn brings the light
We shake off our demons stopping our feelings from
Falling in midflight
Just when we thought we could fly
Oh lord can I be forgiven
For wanting the perfect life story the perfect one
All my life I've been waiting
I've been holding on for something
Holding on
There's a chance we can make it
It's a risk we've been taking
Just keep holding on
Gotta keep holding
This may not be LA
No diamonds and champagne
I'm hustling for money
Hoping to get happy
