| I just want a life that seems a little better than a dream
|
| But I just can't seem to get on my feet
|
| So I gotta let go, gotta let go, gotta let go
|
| I'll hope someday that you will know
|
| I sit back and think about the life I've had
|
| So much to change, but I can't go back
|
| What happened to that kid? |
| He used to play in the street
|
| I think about that kid, he looked just like me
|
| Had a smile, had a home, never grow old
|
| When we grow up, do we have to grow cold?
|
| Spent his whole life looking for salvation
|
| Never realized nobody could save him
|
| So all these words, for what they're worth
|
| I know it's hard, I know it hurts
|
| And we laugh at the past 'cause it's how we learn
|
| Welcome to the world, now let's watch it burn
|
| I just want a life that seems a little better than a dream
|
| But I just can't seem to get on my feet
|
| So I gotta let go, gotta let go, gotta let go
|
| I'll hope someday that you will know
|
| You gotta let go, gotta let go
|
| I hope someday you'll understand
|
| Sometimes it's hidden, wish that I could see
|
| A future picture of an older me
|
| Would he be smiling and would he be happy?
|
| Would he say a thousand words while looking right at me?
|
| Is he different or the same old me?
|
| Is he still chasing after these same old dreams?
|
| I know that I'll never reach perfection
|
| At least he could point me in the right direction
|
| Some grow old, and some grow cold
|
| They'd sell their souls for a heart of gold
|
| God only knows where the hell would I be
|
| If I had the old me sitting beside me
|
| I just want a life that seems a little better than a dream
|
| But I just can't seem to get on my feet
|
| So I gotta let go, gotta let go, gotta let go
|
| I'll hope someday that you will know
|
| You gotta let go, gotta let go
|
| I hope someday you'll understand
|
| No one knows what it's like to be alone
|
| Please, tell me, is anyone out there?
|
| No one knows what it's like to be alone
