You worried I have given Have lsot direction for the cause Have traded truth for confidence Went back on all my promises I am not old but I've become Afraid of things I never was And stumbling on without a pause Can only go so long Did you say that I was the lifer Did you say that life could be better It seems to those who know me best My luck is wild and in excess I don't why some suffer so And others never fear to go I won't reduce myself to air Undo myself for your affair I've shown you everything I am You choose or not to understand There is a logic to the rule The end is kind, the mean is cruel I have to love the life I make Make up for all the space I take Mistaken for an oversight The absence of my appetite The source of all my arrogance I left it up to chance I believed that I was the lifer I believed that life could be better I want to see you rise again To see life in your eyes again To feel your pulse is beating strong To prove all of us wrong Will you say that you are the lifer Do you think that life could be better Will you say that I am the lifer Do you think that life could be better
