It's Only Temporary

(アルバム： Lost And Losing It - 2017)

What I thought was love has me falling apart
Don't know if I can heal from this broken heart
Didn't think my partner would ever give up on me
Guess I made it hard when I wouldn't give in
Looking back on all my selfishness and all my sin
You were drowning in the darkness that made it so I couldn't see
I wanna go back to the days when I wasn't afraid
The good life with my wife and the family we made
There was once a time when everything seemed alright

So take me back to the time when I was a boy
Before innocence was lost and released its joy
But that was all in the past and it was only temporary

Now I gotta move, I gotta play my part
Focus on my children and my music and art
Life ain't gonna stop and wait for a shit like me
Learn from my regrets and I'll try to be
A good man working hard with integrity
I'm changing my perspective and that's what's gonna set me free
I wanna look now to the world that I'm living in
Time to stand up on my own and it's time to begin
I'm only bound by the limits I set for myself

I gotta have hope for the future no matter the case
Looking forward with my dreams until I reach that place
It doesn't matter if I fail
Cause life is only temporary

And why do I have to do this on my own
I cry, lord why don't you just take me home
Could you hand me the instructions please
I've been pleading to you on my knees
Yeah you just tell me what to do
I'll do my best to follow through (bam)

I wanna look back on my life and let it all go
Death is coming for us all but we'll never know
When he's gonna catch us and take us to the other side
I wanna have faith that I loved and I did my best
Give these open arms an eternal rest

But I know that day is gonna come
I know that day is gonna come
I know that day is gonna come
Cause life is only temporary
