her life has always been so easy but now the table has turned she blames her self for hows worked out and now the past has come back to haunt heroh now she’s gonna get it right yeah oh now she’s gonna get it right one fine day,one fine day one fine day and she still waits for prince charming to come up riding on his horse take away all her darkness and make her feel oh like she did once before oh yeah oh now he’ll take her in his arms oh now sweep her off her feet oh one fine day one fine day one fine day oh yeah but then again she needs to love him its not enough to be a prince no cause all the men she’s met are useless yes they all turn out to be creeps yeah oh now she’s gonna get it right oh now she’s gonna get it right one fine day one fine day one fine day one fine day (and a few more fine days just in case you didn’t get it yet ) one fine day she’s going to to get it right she hopes one fine day she’s going to to get it righ one fine day

every draw i open leaves me feeling broken no im not joking she's everywhere i look in a empty box or a pair of socks that she forgot she pops out of everywhere she comes as she pleases even though she doesn’t have an invitation any time any place she comes unannounced she comes unannounced and when i hear a scratch i think about her back and how bunda's a cat and when my friends ask it feels like a slap i can’t pretend to wear a mask my skin is an empty glass she comes as she pleases even though she doesn’t have an invitation any time any place she comes unannounced she comes unannounced

i’ve been dreaming of something i’ve been dreaming of something and that something is you i was young and so foolish i did not know what love meant but then you came along and opened my eyes oh you satisfy me i’ve been dreaming of something i’ve been dreaming of something and that something is you the way you say my name leaves me feeling speechless i go floating in your eyes the things you do to me no i’ve never had done before oh you satisfy me i’ve been dreaming of something i’ve been dreaming of something and that something is you

time is rolling by and it doesn’t hurt like it used to do glad to lose my youth and learn a little more now i watch in fondness people lose there minds at all the little things all the little things there’s a new kinda human thats been born as we speak who will think for its self and feel no use for hate i hear people asking for change how can we make it better ? i suggest and take it how you will become the change but the kids are killing parents oh ungrateful for the lives they’ve been given what are we teaching? and the people we pay to care keep on selling new improved lies with no intention of stopping anything and the weekends are made for drinking so we can hide the things in side i think a sober man could make a difference i hear people asking for change how can we make it better ? i suggest and take it how you will become the change might tough admit but were responsible for everything a little less blah blah a little more do do can make the difference the world can change if we believe it will so become the change

i want to wake up in the morning want to wake and be at peace yeah I’ve made a choice to do what i want i want to feel alive i want the sun i want the sun to shine in me i want to seize the moment every single day cause I’ve only got one life and i’m gonna give it everything I got I’ve only got one life and i’m gonna give it everything I got and if i don’t trust in me then nobody else will i want to stop my daily struggles i’m sick and tired of feeling so damn weak yeah I’ve got a dream it might sound simple but i just want to be myself i want to leave these shadows of doubts that are weighing me down i want to seize the moment every single day cause I’ve only got one life and i’m gonna give it everything I got I’ve only got one life and i’m gonna give it everything I got and if i don’t trust in me then nobody else will

not always a good idea to walk in your fathers steps if he’s heading for a brick wall maybe not the best idea to do as he says maybe you should learn to hold your tongue better cross the street walk on the other side you dont waste your time on a lost cause but your frustrated in how you feel cause your just as stubborn as him and no he doesn’t care what you say all your kind words fall on deaf ears cause life has cheated him tricked him good all he see’s how it could of been you stand and watch and worry yourself that you might turn out the same but you love so you must accept that he is just how he is so no more blaming or being ashamed he gave you life and taught you how to see he may of beat you and hurt you with words but he was there every single day oh yeah we all struggle in our own minds but why can’t we see all the goodness instead of putting up this useless fight when we could just smile and be grateful
7.
wish you would shut your mouth twisting words inside out you’re driving me away from here i think you know what i fear but I’m growing up just as fast as i can but its not enough not enough i try and i try to make you see how i feel i know i don’t have that much appeal but i wish you would talk about something else but you won’t no you won’t yes you won yes you won you got the girl make it stop make it stop i’ll do anything to keep you quiet so get up off my back but you won’t but if not its alright ‘cause i know what it’s like this has happened a million times before so i’ll stand back up and try my luck a million times more and i hope she’s just round the corner and i won’t give up no no no i won’t yes you won yes you one you got the girl make it stop it i’ll do anything to keep you quiet so get up off my back but you won’t and i thought you were a friend of mine but you keep rubbing it in my friend no no no friend of mine it hurts man so just leave me alone just leave me alone no no no friend of mine
8.
are you really gone or is this a sick joke are you just fooling around if so it’s ok you can come back now no we can’t believe it you weren’t showing any signs we all wish we had listened a little closer you were a great man a genius to say the least a lover of the finer things in life a true gentleman if i had ever met one oh that crazy laugh and smile and how you never let anybody ever feel left out brother wherever you are hope you’re at peace now brother wherever you are we know your at peace now the hole that you left behind can’t be filled its a fucking waste why didn’t you reach out you stubborn fool we would of all come running and caught you when you fell so we send our to you love know that you’ll be watching over us and now you’ve passed on to the other side you can tell us how it is we’d be grateful if you wrote it in the sand we’ll miss that crazy laugh and smile and how you never let anybody ever feel left out brother wherever you are hope that you’re at peace brother wherever you are we know your at peace now we all know it’s a crying shame, another wasted life come now don’t blame yourself what’s done is done nothin’ we can do but learn to accept and remember to live
