lyrics

Woke up this morning
Thought, gonna change my life
I'm like a ship in the sand just waiting for the tide
Got a lot of reasons
Glad to be alive
But always waking up alone just makes me wanna die

I may be lonely but I'm not stupid
I try to live with my mistakes
So i stay awake to ease all pain
But i've never been very good at playing that game
No i've never been very good at anything

Forget the past it's just an ugly backdrop
That stains everything we try to believe in
And accept the things that failed love brings
And don't project it onto anyone else
