Story Behind The Song

Why didn't anyone tell me how hard this life can be? Why didn't anyone stop me from dedicating myself to this 'losing game' known as the music business? Why? Because it is important for the good of everyone that a few lead difficult lives and keep the dream going.

Song Description

It's important to have dreams however unrealistic and this is perhaps why we don't discourage youth from preposterous endeavors.

Lyrics

There are some things that are hard to learn,
Like losing or to wait your turn,
For patience and faith in yourselves

But they're moments we'll never get,
Like watching the people you love,
Dying, or handing themselves in with brave face on

This is why they told us we couldn't lose,
And why no one showed us which way to choose,
Maybe that's the problem no one we know, knows.

But there is a bright spot in you and me,
There's more brilliance than the open sea,
And maybe some cover for the lonely (the lonely baby!)

Few things can slow us down,
A white lie for your honesty,
A half glass handed down as overflowing love.

This is why they told us we couldn't lose,
And why no one showed us which way to choose,
Maybe that's the problem no one we know, knows.

And in another fifty years if we remain,
Should we do it over or have it changed,
Maybe that's the message no one should ever know.

What it's like to find out they're stuck in place,
To discover they'll never see their dreams come true.
