Lyrics

Every day he's looking for
A chance to find his metaphor
The truth behind the black and white
And dreary shades of grey

Looking in your eyes he sees
Contempt and pity when he needs
A hint of hope, a glint of light
To carry him away

And yet his dreams
Are sweeter than you know
And filled with hands that hold
And voices softly crooning words
That every heart should hear

His heart breaks
A little every day
He tries his best to mend the cracks away
And be the guy that always smiles and hides in his eyes

CHORUS
It's not a sad song yet
He still has time to forget
And make his life
Something new
Something good
Before he says goodbye
And writes the end

When the sadness fades day breaks
He starts a new life with the shakes
And looking back he contemplates
The man he used to be

Wants to change but knows the truth
His life is like a rotten tooth
Fills your mouth with sour taste
And pain 'til you rip it free

And yet his dreams
Are sweeter than you know
And filled with hands that hold
And voices softly crooning words
That every heart should hear

Lying down
He prays for sudden death
He cannot help but wish for final breath
And courage to choose to clean his mess or let it all go

CHORUS

And writes the end
Of a life lived with you
Writes the end~
Of a song meant for two

And sings the song for you
And prays that you
Would take his hand
Before he says
Goodbye
