Lyrics

You're what I wanted
But what wanted me?
Money speaks louder than my dreams
Normal life was something I'd seen as tragedy
The future is never what it seems
Common life has come so easily
Money adds so much to normalcy
Better years turned bitter
Why can't I do what's right for me?
Turning the page means burning the versus
Of the ones I wrote this with
Certainty has come at such a high price
But it's the price I pay for peace of mind
But do I mind the peace that comes along and all things aside
Understand these are my dreams
We lived them together for a moment in time
Is this the beginning of the end?
Or the end of the beginning?
Watch it fade away
Watching this thing change
Common life has come so easily
Money adds so much to normalcy
Better years turned bitter
Why can't I do what's right for me?
