Lyrics
What would I give to know the path that brought me here
What if I said, "In spite of which, I'm a better man."
What is the cost? That's never seemed to make much sense at all
I never said it did..
Pre-Chorus
To tell you the truth, I wouldn't know another way
the sum of which is another day
The pardon of sin lies with greater men
the best that we are is ours to defend
Chorus
Or it's going, going, gone
like the last words of a lonely song
The simple things are neither right or wrong
they're just going, going, gone..
What would we do if we knew the reason why
people hide their truth right behind their eyes
it's really very simple: if we could just believe in who we are..
I guess we never will
Pre-chorus
