Do I deserve a second chance today?
What would change
If one happened to come my way?
Junk accumulated over the years
Could I give it all away?
Would these attachments fade?
Mementos, forget me nots, gorillas in the room
Like it or not, all I've ever had
Was a past to throw away
I'm a slave of impulse
Clutching a sad bouquet
Now I'm weeping by the grave
Of a life survived, but never lived
I'm weeping by the grave
Of a life survived, but never lived
I'm screaming into the void
Of a life survived, but never lived
♪
In a life that takes but never gives
Anger is no defense
For the river's flow is passive
From another life the lesson lands
Touched down in my hands
Will I carve a happy ending
Wary of the love I see around
Reminds me of the someone I let down
To have it all my own way
Now the silence speaking in volumes
Hating that I stayed
I'm weeping by the grave
Of a life survived, but never lived
I'm weeping by the grave
Of a life survived, but never lived
I'm screaming into the void
Of a life survived, but never lived
Never, ever lived
♪
Devoured by the lack of love I felt
A losing hand was dealt
I turned and walked away
From the warmth of an easy compromise
That I soon grew to despise
I don't regret I didn't stay
Easier to simply say
We belong in different endings
No doubt for sure that way
I'm weeping by the grave
Of a life survived, but never lived
I'm screaming into the void
Of a life survived, but never lived
♪
It has it's way with you, it runs away from you
A life survived, but never lived
It has it's way with you, it runs away from you
A life survived, but never lived
I'm weeping by the grave
Of a life survived, but never lived, no
I'm screaming into the void
Of a life survived, but never lived

I'm screaming into the void
