I’ll take the time, to make things right
Can’t afford to lose, can’t crack my spirit with a case of the blues
Though Foolish am I, stubborn at times
Can’t afford to cry, I just tell myself that my well has up and gone dry
Maybe I’m not the one that I thought I had to be
It’s a matter of time, before you make up your mind


It makes no difference how you do it
Don’t you let them be the ones to bring you down
How in the hell are you ever gonna love somebody else
When you can’t even love yourself


I’m sick and tired of the same old song and dance
Can’t cash my tickets, I owe everything I own up to chance and circumstance
With what little I have learned, who the hell should I be?
Just want to be somebody else, forget what it ever was like to be me
’Till what’s left of the face in the mirror is never the one that you need
I do believe, you’re asking way too much of me

I cut it too close to the wire again
My spaceship’s going down, just like Major Tom who burned out at both ends
I Guess he never knew, who he was after all
No one cares for the truth, they’ll sell you a story that’s too tall too fall
When they claw at your collar for one lousy dollar, how far will you bend?
I’d recommend, you step away from the ledge

It makes no difference how you do it
Don’t you let them be the ones to bring you down
How in the hell are you ever gonna love somebody else
When you can’t even love yourself


Some fools get lucky, some just bite the dust
I think it’s funny, there ain’t much you can trust but you do what you must
If you ever wanna make it out, you’d better learn to swim
You can outrun your problems, but there’s no guarantee that you’ll ever win
Keep your chin up and grin, ‘cause tomorrow’s got no time for sorrows, my friend
Take care of your garden, Don’t forget where you’ve been

It makes no difference how you do it
Don’t you let them be the ones to bring you down
How in the hell are you ever gonna love somebody else
When you can’t even love yourself
When you can’t even love yourself
