You deserve much better than me Well I deserve much better than you But the fact of the matter is you’re long, long gone You’re always playing the victim Blaming everyone else for the problems inside of your head But the fact of the matter and the fact of the matter is you’re long, long gone Long, long gone I only wish my heart would mend I’ve long since lost my lover, my friend And I only wish to hold you again But our past just had to come to an end You’re long, long gone Can’t stand to see you killing yourself, drinking away your pain But the fact of the matter is you’re long, long gone Just amazed to be so far away from the center of your world But the fact of the matter and the fact of the matter is you’re long, long gone I only wish my heart would mend I’ve long since lost my lover, my friend And I only wish to hold you again But our past just had to come to an end You’re long, long gone I only wish my heart would mend I’ve long since lost my lover, my friend And I only wish to hold you again But our past just had to come to an end You’re long, long gone ‘Cause the fact of the matter is you’re long, long gone You’re long, long gone ‘Cause the fact of the matter and the fact of the matter is you’re long, long gone

Today is taken away, paint it black can't have it back, the feelings yesterday Some disease, magically touched inside and realigned the feelings yesterday Cause today, when will we ever get to know things we do in life are always good to go so if you're the next to take my place, today Disbelief, gets the best of me losing all but faith and fearing god the same so don't take, never take, never take a life you take for granted is a life you've thrown away Cause today, when will we ever get to know things we do in life are always good to go so if you're the next to take my today, when will we ever get to find (when will we find it) instead of wasting time (instead of wasting) live it good it could go away, today

Is there really any other way to live? We run and we run and we run ’til we’re all strung out You can’t cheat a man who always keeps on fighting I never ever want to let my own self down Just when I think I did my best There quickly comes another test and I’m thinking Am I the only one? Who never gives into the chase or settles down for second place and I’m thinking That I’m number one You’re caught up in the heat of the spotlight but you’re alright Do your heroes ever show you, show you the way? I’m pushing hard for the making of tomorrow But I’m pushing harder for the making of today Just when I think I did my best There quickly comes another test and I’m thinking Am I the only one? Who never gives into the chase or settles down for second place and I’m thinking That I’m number one
