Hard time is never long enough
To keep my head afloat
and my feet are stuck in the mud again
I'm getting old and my money's been spent

Tryin' hard was never good enough
I've got a lot to learn
and she's walkin' right out the door again
I'm torn in two and I don't see the end

You can always buy a new lie
When yours is finally over
Either way you'll find a new life
When yours is finally over

Don't think I ever changed at all, my dear
And you'll see when I'm right
and here's when I'm wrong, but still
I kick myself in the face once again

Sometimes I think that I can kill the world
If just for a day
but I'd just be stuck with myself again
And I don't think I wanna be my only friend

You can always buy a new lie
When yours is finally over
Either way you'll find a new life
When yours is finally over
