I've tried so damn hard to convince her But my plea's in vain I still feel the same as I did Could you call her, maybe tell her It might sound right from you I don't know what else to do Would you try? Now we're older, things are stranger Then they've ever been Now I'm scared of d**h For the first time All my friends say I look better But my health is gone Smoking far too much All the time Take your future in your own hands Don't rush, take your time Look around and find Your friends Come together, love each other Spit on those who say This is not the way Let them die And what goes up must come down So I can't talk right now And maybe it's easy to believe That once once in your life, once your life You'll find the love that you have always had Realize that before you knew nothing at all
