Forever and a Day

Misery loves company
When company won't call
You're left with a mouthful
Of ten thousand wrong words
It's all I got
It's what I want

Sympathy is everything
When everything fell short
A textbook example of childhood in shambles
It's not what I want
But it's what I got

Eventually I came to see
I was seeing things all wrong
I've no expectations of people who gave in
My broken heart
Beats like a bomb

Life burns up faster than flames to a photograph
A big stack of mishaps and so much time spent feeling bad
Despite all the beauty that drips right off a loved one's lips
A childlike reaction that starts and stops with selfishness

I try hard to stay awake
Long enough to see the day
When I can finally say
I did something right for a change

I turn to you, I turn to you
In hopes that I will improve
You turn to me, you turn to me
And I just lie there half asleep
You turn to him, you turn to him
Hoping he'll make you whole again
I turn to her, I turn to her
And in the end we all get burned

I try hard to stay awake
Long enough to see the day
When I can finally say
I did something right for a change

There's gotta be a change

Misery loves company
When company won't call
You're left with a mouthful of ten thousand wrong words
It's all I got
It's what I want
It's what I want
