lyrics

breaking my back to no avail
it’s like trying to dig to get through hell
I live cheap but still have unpaid bills
they're never ending god it’s never ending

I remember that time that you once said
there’s ever only one true sacrifice
if you give up on all you believe in
you’ll be damned just like the rest who never tried

and it seems like there’s nowhere to run
and it seems like there’s nothing worth running to
get your head out of those clouds and stop feeling so damn blue

because this guy he ain't quitting
so be rest assured you’re wrong
when the good things all seem missing I’ll be gone
take one sorry second
a moment to yourself
because good things never last can’t you tell

I sit quiet with my hands between my knees
I always make a point to say please
I don’t need a handout on these streets
it’s not my pride talking it’s just my dad talking
I always tried to do the best I can
I always want to be in a rock band
so tell the boys to wind the windows down in the van
so I can feel the changing winds change me again

good things never last can’t you tell
