Think about where you were 10 years ago Nobody knew your name, no one was at your shows Looking for a purpose Never felt so nervous Didn't work Always got caught slipping Not one outcome different Didn't work So, don't tell me that it never went to your head Empty rooms all the terrible things they said Think about where you were 10 years ago Now everyone can tell your cover's blown You'll end up all alone With no place to call your own There's gotta be more to life than all of this I burn for better days Take a shot and find your fix Or fade into the haze There's gotta be a better way Think about where you'll be 10 years from now The people that you know get lowered in the ground Love becomes a burden Nothing stays for certain Go to work What's behind the curtain? All your dreams are burning Go to work So, don't tell me it was better when you were young The good old days sounding like you could speak in tongues Think about where you'll be 10 years from now Now everyone can tell your cover's blown You'll end up all alone With no place to call your own There's gotta be more to life than all of this I burn for better days Take a shot and find your fix Or fade into the haze There's gotta be a better way, better way Don't remind me I've Heard it a thousand times If the good die young, I guess my time is up If the good die young, I guess my time is up If the good die young, I guess my time is up I've suffered long enough If the good die young, I guess my time is up If the good die young, I guess my time is up There's gotta be more to life than all of this I burn for better days Take a shot and find your fix Or fade into the haze There's gotta be a better way, better way
