Lyrics
Well, you can’t feel sorry for yourself anymore
You’re tired of staring at death’s dark door
Everybody knows you just can’t quit
You’re still alive, gotta act like it
Now it’s funny how your best-laid plans
Fall to pieces in your hands
Wake up one day and turn around
Whole damn world is upside down
But while we’re here
Can’t waste it all on fear
When all the birds are singing
And the bells are ringing
You’re sad and tired and feeling small
Up against that cold hard wall
Its raining bricks and times are tough
It just won’t stop and you’ve had enough
But while you’re here
Can’t waste it all on fear
When all the birds are singing
And the bells are ringing
So tell me your story and I’ll tell you mine
While the dogs are barking and the sun still shines
There’s a rock we gotta roll up that hill
And a hole in our hearts that we just can’t fill
One thing I know for sure
I can’t feel sorry for myself anymore
Cause I’m still here
Don’t wanna waste it all on fear
When all the birds are singing
And the bells are ringing
