All for Nothing

Begged me not to go
I can just see her fast asleep
At the screen
Failed to find the words to say
All this trouble on her heart for nothing
And if it matters
It didn't matter when or where
As long as when it happened you were there

When you think about the years
We gave to them
Gauged against the years
We both have left
You know that it was all for nothing
They say I never had the courage
To be a man
Always tearing down my dreams
My goals, my plans
I found no nobility in sacrifice
When everything you wanna be
Comes as the price

Too late to ever turn back now
But still some time
To make the sunset
On the western shore
Too late to ever turn back now
But hey
Who the fuck wants to go back anyway

I wanna be on the west coast
Dig my roots in the shoreline
See all the things I've been missing
Before its my turn to die

And when we're strung out in the desert
Put your back up against me
And we'll share the water
And from one friend to another
Where I come from
There's no bloodlines
That define a brother

Too late to ever turn back now
But still some time
To make the sunset
On the western shore
Too late to ever turn back now
But hey
Who the fuck wants to go back anyway

Too late to ever turn back now
