It wasn't hard to realize that your path was not a road that I could change We couldn't make it through the night, and mercy was the one word I could pray Now I'd probably rather be alone And I know that everybody's dreams are slipping through their hands So play another song that could take me away... You've got to live while you're alive Yeah you've got to live while you're alive It's the same old situation, getting over all the lies but you've got to live while you're alive I've got some coins and there's a car, and a broken heart, full tank of lies you know there ain't much left o'me, is just the way it has to be You feel, you love, you die And I'm still standing here alone Though I know that everybody's dreams are slipping through their hands I'll play another song to take this feeling away Don't try to say i'm sorry, it's compassion what I get from your face In spite of all the soulache I'll take the pieces and regain, start over again!
