This Life

He didn't want to tell you that he couldn't put up
With the way you hate yourself
He couldn't say goodbye to you so he left that night
With somebody else
And the world has a funny way of pushing you right to the edge
And the world lies to you, whispers in you ear that you're better off dead

And I wish that I could be
Someone who could change your mind
Take you back to happier times

And this life been unkind to you
I can see it in the way that you smile
And this time you're gonna see it through
And there's nothing that I can do
To save your life one more time

From the day that you were born you were pushed around,
Pushed down, pushed into the ground
You've been waiting for that moment when what goes around
Comes right back around
But the world has a funny way of choosing your fate
Long before you're back on your feet
And this world can be hard as stone, when you're alone
It won't offer any relief
