Lifer

[Verse 1] You're worried I've given up Have lost direction for the cause Have traded truth for confidence Went back on all my promises [Verse 2] I am not old but I’ve become Afraid of things I never was And stumbling on without a pause Can only go so long [Chorus 1] Did you say that I was the lifer? Did you say that life could be better? [Verse 3] It seems to those who know me best My luck is wild and in excess I don’t know why some suffer so And others never fear to go [Verse 4] I won’t reduce myself to air Undo myself for your affair I’ve shown you everything I am You choose or not to understand [Bridge] There is a logic to the rule The end is kind, the mean is cruel I have to love the life I make Make up for all the space I take [Verse 5] Mistaken for an oversight The absence of my appetite The source of all my arrogance I left it up to chance [Chorus 2] I believed that I was the lifer I believed that life could be better [Verse 6] I want to see you rise again To see life in your eyes again To feel your pulse is beating strong To prove all of us wrong [Chorus 3] Will you say that you are the lifer? Do you think that life could be better? Will you say that I am the lifer? Do you think that life could be better?
