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
