Lyrics
Can?t Be Everything
By Kevin Robinson & Charlie Lang

(Intro/Bridge)
Wastin? time on too much nothin?
Goin? through hell waitin? for mistakes to die
They never will
Called a friend, went to dinner
Laughed about Saints and cried about sinners
In the end, it?s all about bein? you
You can?t hide yourself away
Slowly dying, so try again
You can?t stay at comfortable forever
It?s got to change
You just can=t be everything to everybody
I ought know
(Chorus)
Who are they? What do they matter?
Trust your heart, it will not shatter
Don?t give away the only thing you own
No more losers, no more mirrors
Open your eyes, it just gets clearer
Stand up straight and make your own way home
You tried to fly from all the pain
Run away, make it disappear somehow
Now you?ve got to tough it out, it?s all about
The here and now
And you can?t be everything to everybody
You ought to know
(Chorus)
(Solo, chorus & out)
