Everybody needs this kinda love Only to taste and not to fall back onto some kind of evil A love so light, I wouldn't notice A love so light, I wouldn't believe it And all this got me thinking Until all this fades out and time catches up to me (and time catches up to me) Blurs up my mind and tires me out (blurs up my mind and tires me out) I'll make the most of it all I wouldn't have it any other way No mask on, no cover All clear, like a clueless lover (all clear, like a clueless lover) Guess faking's absurd Wouldn't waste up my words Just to cut through the herd Just to play the part in your Hollywood scripted picture It's my life, and I'm going my way It's my life, I'll do it my way And all I'm tryna get to is Make it worth your while And don't go take this for granted (for granted) Life's too short to be missing out (life's too short to be missing out) So take the rise, take the fall, or take it all (or take it all) Take life as it comes, brother (take life as it comes, brother) 'Cause no one else will live it for you, mm Mm, mm, mm Mm, mm, mm Yea, no one else Will live it for you, mm

Every day I rush right home Just like you were there waitin' on me To put the final touch on one more day There's always no answer, when I call your name But I act as though nothing's changed It's easier for me to live this way As if I didn't know you left me I pretend you're right here in my arms I don't see what it hurts to still love you No, I don't see any harm So I go on As if I didn't know As if I didn't know Every night it's the same routine Off to sleep in search of a dream Where we're as happy as we ever were And I'll admit I've gotten good At makin' 'em end the way the way they should That way I can deal with all this hurt As if I didn't know you left me I pretend you're right here in my arms I don't see what it hurts to still love you No, I don't see any harm So I go on As if I didn't know As if I didn't know So I go on As if I didn't know As if I didn't know

I don't know why I thought that you could make me happy These tears I cry for you are so hopeless, yeah I don't know why I thought that we were going somewhere But you grabbed your coat and you were out the door And now I know you don't care I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I used to think you were my pretty angel coming down Well, now you've just proven me wrong, yeah What about the letters we have written? All the things we've said and done But I'll just stand here while you count the battles you have won I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I know it But I'm not gonna cry for you 'Cause that's what you want me to do No, I'm not gonna cry for you anymore I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I know it Take your love and run from me Is this the way love's supposed to be? You don't think that I can see You can't fool me 'Cause I'm not gonna cry for you 'Cause that's what you want me to do No, I'm not gonna cry for you anymore I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I know it I know you're gonna take your love and run I know you think I'm the foolish one I know you're gonna turn around and say goodbye I know it Take your love and run from me Is this the way love's supposed to be? You don't think that I can see
