You can't always say the right things
But at least I keep on trying
Sometimes you choose the right way
But then you end up somewhere else
Now we light up all these candles as we try to face our memories
We remember all the days
When we were glad to be alive
Not far from the gutter
Not far from the pew
Although I don't believe it
Sometimes somebody needs to know
Songs of misery, speakers sing
I'm learning it the hard way
Learning none the less
Failure in stereo
Failure life
Now I collect these used up phrases
To let you know the truth
I've tried to say I'm sorry
But at this time it's no use
Now I've got all these questions
I try to ask them now
Soon I'll get the answers
But still I don't know how
Not far from the gutter
Not far from the pew
Although I don't believe it
Sometimes somebody needs to know
Songs of misery, speakers scream
I'm learning it the hard way
Learning none the less
Failure in stereo
Failure life
