[Verse 1]

Aren't we all a little sick and tired

Of where this life is taking us?

It seems like it's trying its best

To end up slowly breaking us

A lot of us really understand

A little love can change the world

But it seems we'd rather dim

Then shine bright like a pearl

One moment in the spotlight

Some people give their souls

And those who love them so

Just to achieve their goals

But what would they do

Once their plans fall through

And they're all cast aside

Feeling so dead inside?


[Hook]

So many stories

Have gone untold

We act so heartless

We act so cold

There could be Heaven

That all of us can go

But what do I know?


[Verse 2]

So we wait 'till the day breaks

Just to repeat the cycle

Hoping that one day

We'll earn some sort of title

Everybody wants to be successful

That way of thought is legit

But how can we earn the gold

If we never dig for it?

We take the risks without a thought

Think we don't need a safety net

Only when it goes wrong

Do we start to feel regret

So many of us die

Looking for that bright side

As I wonder with this song:

Where did we go wrong?


[Hook]
