With every step, with every labored breath
It seems to happen, this is just a state of measured risk
Calm, casted doubt by the breeze that's freezing now
When the cold sets in, I must admit it's hard to thaw us out
Disbelief displaces certainty
And now our safety nets are tangled up around our necks
It's a hole that we're digging now
Is it a hope for our way out?
And will we finish it before the walls cave in?
[Chorus]
They couldn't tell us what to say, and they couldn't show us how to feel about it
Every day we learn from our mistakes
They tried to show us how it is, and we couldn't get our f**ing heads around it
They couldn't teach us how to live, but we did
[Chorus]
They couldn't tell us what to say, and they couldn't show us how to feel about it
Every day we learn from our mistakes
They tried to show us how it is, and we couldn't get our f**ing heads around it
They couldn't teach us how to live, but we did
We learn to live another day
We live to learn that there's no escape
We learn to live another day
Our hearts turned out along the way
