Lyrics
I was once as you are now
Lived my life on borrowed time
I was once as you are now
Tomorrow will today, Be mine
I was once facing the world
For what seemed like the first time
I was gonna take that world
Take that world and make her mine
But, things don't go the way the ought to
And things don't go the way you planned
Things have a habit of piling up on things, it's a wonder..anyone can stand
I was once facing a down, for what seemed like the last time
Thought that I had hit the ground
I haven't yet this truth I've found
I've seen life and death first hand
Heard the blood run out of the man
Helped the loved one's loss, in the shuffle
'Cause, Things don't go the way they ought to, and things don't go the way you planned
And things have a habit of piling up on things, it's a wonder anyone can stand
Help yourself the the times
Help yourself to good times
I had the key to everything, I had it once I swear I did
I had the key to everything, Then the key Myself I hid.
'Cause things don't go the way they ought to, and things don't go the way you planned
Things have a habit of piling up on things, It's a wonder..Anyone can stand
No, cause things don't go the way they ought to, and things don't go the way you planned
Things have a habit of piling up on things it's a wonder, Anyone can stand
