How my life got messed up
Without me even trying
Can’t use my old excuse
It’s bitter and it’s dying
There’s a truth in every teardrop
A lie in every smile
We’re making our grand entrance
Or going out in style
Chorus
I got plenty to answer for
It’s all on my dime
Seemed like
Seemed like
A good thing at the time
Seemed like
Seemed like
A good thing at the time
Lived out of a suitcase
Bad food and sad motels
Tried so hard to sell myself
Had nothing much to tell
Saw a big thing coming
A long-awaited prize
Knew that it was hopeless
Still I tried it on for size
Chorus
These clouds are cast iron
Weighing down my chest
Can’t summon up the courage
To face the acid test
No time for condemnation
I’m only scraping by
The spark deep within me
Said its first and last goodbye
Chorus
How my life got messed up
Without me even trying
Can’t use my old excuse
It’s bitter and it’s dying
There’s a truth in every teardrop
A lie in every smile
We’re making our grand entrance

Chorus
I got plenty to answer for
It’s all on my dime
Seemed like
Seemed like
A good thing at the time
Seemed like
Seemed like
A good thing at the time
Lived out of a suitcase
Bad food and sad motels
Tried so hard to sell myself
Had nothing much to tell
Saw a big thing coming
A long-awaited prize
Knew that it was hopeless
Still I tried it on for size
Chorus
These clouds are cast iron
Weighing down my chest
Can’t summon up the courage
To face the acid test
No time for condemnation
I’m only scraping by
The spark deep within me
Said its first and last goodbye
