lyrics
I wish I could tell you
There’s an end to the pain
I wish I could say
It won’t happen again
But I won’t
I don’t dare tell a lie
I wish every cloud was lined
With silver and gold
But some things just don’t turn out
the way you were sold
and I’m sorry
I don’t dare tell a lie
Easy won’t happen
Or last long
For every man taken
By fortune and greed
Another has broken
and humbled his needs
it’s the same
how both of them will die
a plagiarist story of how men can succeed
he thinks he’s invincible
pretends he don’t bleed
and I bet
you’d be surprised
easy wont happen
or last long
beat by the rhythms
that are pounding in my head
you’ve gotta make that living
until you’re dead
should’ve been easy
but it never really is
you’ve got one thing holding
you never did
because easy won’t
happen or last long
