It seems like it never works out in the end But it's not like you've never been scarred Keep walking by and you keep asking why In the world are you trying so hard There's something inside that you're trying to hide 'Cuz you hope it will all turn out fine But I know one day the sun will rise On a perfect world and this will all be mine So when you're lying awake at night And you're trying to sleep but something's not right Just keep on reminding yourself that you're there And if God wants to punish you He'll answer your prayers How many lifetimes will we waste away? For anybody? How many prayers do I have to say? For anybody? How many dreams are gonna have to burn? For anybody? How many lifetimes does it take to learn? For anybody? So you've lost all the trust that took years to collect And you've lost all your dignity The dreams that I've locked in my head are all gone And I wonder what's happening But everyone cries and you finally decide That you just can't give in anymore And in that moment you realize That this has happened once before
