| If it was up to me, id enver look both
|
| wasy before crossing the street
|
| if it was up to me, i’d never wear my
|
| seatbelt, and i’d probably still speed
|
| if it was up to me, i never would have
|
| smild in any pictures
|
| i’d most likely sleep all day,
|
| if i could just relax for a while
|
| so you better come quick
|
| i’m about to do something foolish
|
| if you could be so kind
|
| as to call hte police
|
| i swear this time
|
| it’s not jsut for attention
|
| but i also know that you have heard that
|
| from me once before
|
| if it was up to you,
|
| i would never swear around people
|
| i’m suppose to respect
|
| if it was up to you, i’d keep in touch wiht
|
| friends from the psat
|
| even though they never last
|
| if it was up to you,
|
| i’d alwasy say my prayers before i ate
|
| and before i went to sleep
|
| if it was up to you, i’d be happy and i’d
|
| write songs that made you happy too
|
| i can’t seem to care much for these things
|
| that you call life
|
| so you better come quick
|
| i’m about to do something foolish
|
| if you could be so kind
|
| as to call the police
|
| i swear this time
|
| it’s not just for attention
|
| i don’t want the topic to change
|
| i couldn’t ever tell you, to your face
|
| that i’ve only been pretending
|
| to enjoy this place
|
| it’s all been make believe
|
| and it’s mostly in my head
|
| the problem is only guess
|
| where we go when we finally rest
|
| will it be better than where we are now
|
| still i’d like to believe
|
| it’s better than here
|
| better than where we are
|
| better than here
|
| we’ve forgotten what we’re here for
|
| or maybe we never knew
|
| if a simple life is what we want
|
| why are we so confused?
|
| cause we all want a happy ending
|
| but we’re tired of children’s books
|
| we’re tired of feeling useless
|
| and we’re tired of dirty looks
|
| i swear we used to feel things
|
| or at least we cried real tears
|
| we used to say i’m sorry
|
| but we haven’t now for years
|
| so forgive us of our sings
|
| let us die in peace
|
| so we never have to choose |
