The Way It Should Be

It cost me everything to do it on my own
This life is harder than it seems
What goes up comes down
But I've found that in my heart I know you never change
It started out just fine
I might have fallen along the way
But I still see the finish line
This race I've never won
Leaves me wondering can I accept what I've become

Nothing I could say would help to paint a picture of the life I've made
I've built myself into a corner
Nothing I could do could carry me through

Hey! There goes another day
Another chance to go take my life back
Or stay to find myself
To see the truth in front of me
To change my destiny
Just like I'd never felt the sun on my face fade away
What can I do to get back to you, the way it should be?

Nothing good comes free
It's always the same thing
I put too much trust in me
Honesty's not easy
But your patience always mesmerizes me
Lately I've been thinking where did I go wrong

Think about the times I've fallen down
You're there to pick me up
Think about the times I've hit the ground so hard
And you still love me
