Open the conversation
Hearing what they say
Baby I'm ashamed
And oh, I can't explain
Why I feel this way
Ashamed of my toleration
Love will turn away
In my life I wanna teach you what's right
So you won't be the same
And I get scared for the world you were born into
Where the good deeds get lost in time
And I hope and I pray 'cause I promised you
The good life
Take all your resolutions
And hold them near
As we began
Bringing in another new year
And turn off the television
Become who you are
All I can do is promise you
A better start
And I get scared for the world you were born into
Where the good deeds get lost in time
And I hope and I pray 'cause I promised you
The good life
And I get scared for the world you were born into
While you stand wide eyed in the doorway
Are you fooled to believe I promised you
The good life
And I get scared for the world you were born into
Where the good deeds get lost in time
And I hope and I pray 'cause I promised you
The good life
And I get scared for the world you were born into
While you stand wide eyed in the doorway
Are you fooled to believe I promised you
The good life
