No Apologies

It's a lost cause
To try understand it all
So act natural
My fair-weather friends
Only the young die good, it's true
And vice versa
And dare I say
I should have been a bad guy
The easy way out
Now everyone settled down
If it wasn't me, it'd be somebody else
These words I can't stop, whether glory or ghost
Love is a war
And I'll take it too far
So act natural
Act natural
And dare I say
I should have been a bad guy
The easy way out

When they take me away
What songs will they play?
I can't deny
That I hope it's alright
And I hope it is something true
But when the lights go down
The shadows grow larger than life
It's hard to pretend that it doesn't make sense
But I'm betting on something else
Yeah I'm betting on something else
I'm betting on something else

They warn you of the wolves but they don't warn you about the sheep
I started buying tears back in early spring
I've got the blues but the blues ain't got me
In fact we all fall asleep in act three so I'd like to panic but I ain't got the time
If you give them eight eyes they will ask for nine
Are you my killer or are you my lover?
Please make yourself known
Our shadows are only getting longer and it seems as though you are all alone
I understand that you have a job to do and well that's okay
It almost makes sense what you're trying to say
Almost
My struggles are long so it's a good thing my attention span is so short
A whole lot of feedback can really help distort all the pain and problems and insignificant fears
Why if I weren't laughing I'd be crying
Still bright after all these years

When they take me away
What songs will they play?
I can't deny
That I hope it's alright
And I hope it is something true
But when the lights go down
All the shadows grow larger than life
It's hard to pretend that it doesn't make sense
But I'm betting on something else
Yeah I'm betting on something else
