I don't usually take chances   Most would easily agree   Something in your eyes   Is saying you can ease my hearache   I have a burden in sight   And I know you're just a stranger   If you cannot understand   There's too many times   I've lost my chance to talk with an angel   Too many to count      And life's so hard   It's the little things that seem to be getting me today, yeah   Life's so hard   But I'm doing what I can to not to be getting down   I'm going down in flames   Going down in flames      I would tell you I am happy   If I wasn't so damn sad   And the loneliness both overwhelms and keeps me empty   That's how it's been for a while      And life's so hard   It's the little things that seem to be getting me today, yeah   Life's so hard   But I'm doing what I can to not to be getting down   I'm going down in flames   Going down in flames      I need some direction   I need someone to listen   Someone to tell me that they know      That life's so hard   It's the little things that seem to be saving me today, yeah   Life's so hard   And I'm doing what I can   Oh, yeah, I'm doing what I can   Hey, I'm doing what I can   Going down in flames   Going down in flames
