Well I would like to think   The world hasn't seen   That all the best is still to come,   And I know life ain't easy      I pass them sleeping on the streets   Their bloodstained hands and dirty feet   And I can't ignore them   Any more than I already have         CHORUS   So we laugh, and we smile   And we play our games of sweet denial   But don't tell me we're forgiven   If we hold, all our breath   If we kneel right down and just repent   You can't tell me we're forgiven         Start with me, I cannot lie   When my heart doesn't follow my eyes   Turn away, from all the suffering   That surrounds   Our time on this earth   For some their life has been a curse   I say I'm sorry and I should change   You know it just could be me someday         CHORUS         There's no way outta here   I don't wanna die, and leave it all behind   Each day a part of me disappears   But who am I to judge, what's been sent from above?         CHORUS         We can't laugh, we can't smile   When so much just ain't right   It can't go on forever   If we hold, our breath   If we kneel right down and repent,   You can't tell me we're forgiven, no,   You can't tell me we're forgiven
