Sittin’ here, lookin’ through the sparks
There’s a lot of stuff but still not enough
Hallmark cards, champagne corks and baby shoes
I’ve tried to be a better man
Doin’ everything the best that I can
I’ve never turned and I never lied
And sometimes I ask myself why
I’m willing to compromise
When I look into your big brown eyes
It’s hard to be the bearer of bad news
I stopped believing in this thing called faith
I know that it’s just my fate
Cause it’s sends me back to my childhood
Never did us any good
Be strong for me and you and her
Cause that something inside of me is melting away
I know when you’ve got the blues
You’re callin’ when I’m diallin’ you
It’s hard to be the bearer of bad news
A perfect world, that sounds so good
This institution so misunderstood
The dividends of love are gettin’ kind of lean
I guess I read too many books on message green mass treen
I don’t believe in goodbyes
Once again our lives will collide
And we’ll reunite as a storm in heaven
