|
I've tripped and I've stumbled through all of my life |
|
Surrounded by promises I broke every time |
|
There's no way I'm allowing my stupid mistakes |
|
To stick around until I bend and break |
|
Because yesterday can harbour my history, while tomorrow it shelters my dreams |
|
And telling me I'm so insignificant means nothing to me |
|
And I know I don't look like a movie star but I've played every prominent part |
|
In fading bright eyes so very dark |
|
Love can deadly in the wrong kind of hands |
|
From Sunset to Main Street you consumed the man I am |
|
But the lines on my face are where the smiles have been |
|
From memories locked inside of me |
|
Because yesterday can harbour my history, while tomorrow it shelters my dreams |
|
And telling me I'm so insignificant means nothing to me |
|
And I know I don't look like a movie star but I've played every prominent part |
|
In fading bright eyes so very dark |
|
In fading her bright eyes so very dark |
|
This is all I can say |
|
Everyone knows that we stand in the past |
|
Too afraid to speak up and say |
|
Please spare me a lifetime of old photographs |
|
A thousand words spoke without weight |
|
If the years of frustration distort what you see |
|
It's harder and harder to leave |
|
It will never be too late to be what you could have been |
|
Don't spend your day feeling sorry, don't be sorry |
|
Yesterday is nothing but history, and tomorrow it will shelter our dreams |
