Longest Days (Live)

[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
