[Verse 1]
Seems like once upon a time ago
I was where I was supposed to be
My vision was true, and my heart was too
There was no end to what I could dream
I walked like a hero into the settin' sun
Everyone called out my name
And death to me was just a mystery
I was too busy raisin' up Cain
[Chorus]
But nothing lasts forever
And when your best efforts don't always pay
Sometimes we get sick and we won't get better
That's when life is short
Even in its longest days
[Verse 2]
So you prеtend not to notice
That evеrything has changed
The way that you look and the friends you once had
So you keep on actin' the same
But deep down in your soul
You know you ain't got no flame
And who knows then which way to go?
Life is short even in its longest days
[Bridge]
All I got here is a rear view mirror
Reflections of where we've been
So we tell ourselves, "Hell, we'll be back up on top some day"
But you know there's nothin' waitin' up there for you anyway
[Chorus]
Nothing lasts forever
When your best efforts don't always pay
Sometimes you get sick and you don't get better
That's when life is short
Even in its longest days
Life can be short
Even in its longest days
