Headstones and Old Bones

In time you’ll learn that you never get what you want
In this day and age that’s not how we were brought up
So make the change, fight through the pain and make it through another day
So make the change, fight through the pain and make it through another day
In a world unfamiliar, how’s the view from your cell
This self-created hell at the bottom of a wishing well
When you look in a mirror, do you recognize yourself
Are you happy with what you see and the image they tell you to be
(We fight to win) The acceptance from all our friends, all our friends and
loved ones
(So don’t give in) To the weight of the world, to the weight of the world on
your shoulders
So take your time and don’t let go, cause giving up hurts more than you should
know
On the day you die what will you have to show, besides a headstone,
what’s left of your old bones
Improve your life, before it gets too late
You would think I’m lying, no one gets a clean slate
Will you follow through, the things you said to me
I watch you turn blue, as you fall apart at the seams
So take your time and don’t let go, cause giving up hurts more than you should
know
On the day you die what will you have to show, besides a headstone,
what’s left of your old bones
So let’s make the change, fight through the pain and make it through another day
So let’s make the change, fight through the pain and make it through another day
So take your time and don’t let go, cause giving up hurts more than you should
know
On the day you die what will you have to show, besides a headstone,
what’s left of your old bones
(We fight to win) The acceptance from all our friends, all our friends and
loved ones
(So don’t give in) To the weight of the world, to the weight of the world on
your shoulders
(Live and learn) To forget the past, to forget the past that haunts you
(Don't burn the bridge) Good things won’t come, good things won’t come until
you wait
