'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold , I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no
/
Well, I've never prayed,
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now
/
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold , I am here with my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no
/
(Well have you ever been down?)
(I can't change, I can't change...)
(Ooooohhhhh...)

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
You know I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no,no,no,no,no

I love you

But I gotta stay true

My moral's got me on my knees

I'm begging please

Stop playing games

 

I don't know what this is

But you got me good

Just like you knew you would

I don't know what you do

But you do it well

I'm under your spell

 

You got me begging you for mercy

Why won't you release me

You got me begging you for mercy

Why won't you release me

I said you better release me

Now you think that I

Will be some thing on the side

But you got to understand

That I need a man

Who can take my hand, yes I do

I don't know what this is

But you got me good

Just like you knew you would

I don't know what you do

But you do it well

I'm under your spell

You got me begging you for mercy

Why won't you release me

You got me begging you for mercy

Why won't you release me

I said you better release me

I'm begging you for mercy

Just why won't you release me

I'm begging you for mercy

You got me begging

You got me begging

You got me begging

Mercy,

Why won't you release me

I'm begging you for mercy

Why wont you release me

You got me begging you for mercy

I'm begging you for mercy

I'm begging you for mercy

I'm begging you for mercy

I'm begging you for mercy

Why won't you release me

Bring it on

Mercy

Begging you for mercy

You got me begging

Down on my knees

I said mercy

Begging you for mercy

You got me begging

It's a good thing, tears never show in the pouring rain
As if a good thing ever could make up for all the pain
There'll be no last chance to promise to never mess it up again
Just a sweet pain of watching your back as you walk
As I'm watching you walk away
And now you're gone it's like an echo in my head
And I remember every word you said
/
It's a cold thing you never know all the ways I tried
It's a hard thing faking a smile when I feel like I'm falling apart inside
And now you're gone it's like an echo in my head
And I remember every word you said
/
And you never were, and you never will be mine
No, you never were, and you never will be mine
/
For the first time, there's no mercy in your eyes
And the cold wind is hitting my face and you're gone
And you're walking away
And I'm helpless sometimes
Wishing's just no good
Cause you don't see me like I wish you would
/
Cause you never were, and you never will be mine
No, you never were, and you never will be mine
/
There's a moment to seize everytime that we meet
But you have always keep passing me by
/
But you never were, and you never will be mine
/
(I saw you at the station, you had your arm around
Whats her name? She had on that scarf I gave you
you got down to tie her laces)
/
Cause you never were, and you never will be mine
(You looked happy and that's great)
No, you never were, and you never will be mine
(I just miss you, that's all)
/
Cause you never were, and you never will be mine
No, you never were, and you never will be mine
/
There's a moment to seize everytime that we meet
But you have always keep passing me by
/
No, you never were, and you never will be mine
Cause you never were, and you never will be mine
No, you never were, and you never will be mine

Why would I carry such a weight on my shoulders?
Why do I always help you carry your boulders?
You wonder why I carry such a weight on my shoulders
And why would I tttts such a load
/
Cos someday you'll see
Next time I'll try it another way
/
Why would you try to make me friends with them soldiers
when you know that I've never been familiar with orders
When you know that my heart is in a pretty disorder
And you should know that in my heart you fill every corner
/
And someday you'll see that all I want is to please
Next time I'll try it another way
/
How long will I sit and wait like a soldier?
How many summers will it take?
How many summers will I wait?
How many shoulders will I break?
/
Why would I carry such a weight on my shoulders?
Why am I always by your side when you're down?
Why did I help you build a beautiful house?
And why did I break my back for you in the cold?
/
Cos someday you'll see
Next time I'll try it another way
/
Why would I have to quit if time makes me older
Why do they wonder why I never get bored?
How could I tell them that I'll never let go
But hey, you're my man but they just won't understand
/
And someday you'll see that all I want is to please
Next time I'll try it another way
/
How long will I sit and wait like a soldier?
How many summers will it take?
How many summers will I wait?
How many shoulders will I break?
/
Why would I carry such a weight on my shoulders?
WHy do I always help you carry your boulders?
You wonder why I carry such a weight on my shoulders
And why would I tttts such a load
/
And someday you'll see that all I want is to please
Next time I'll try it another way
/
How long will I sit and wait like a soldier?
How many summers will I wait?

Many's the time I ran with you down
The rainy roads of our old town
Many the lives we lived in each day
And buried all together
Don't laugh at me
Don't look away
/
You'll follow me back
With the sun in your eyes
And on your own
Bedshaped and legs of stone
You'll knock on my door
And up we'll go
In white light
I don't think so
But what do I know?
What do I know?
I know
/
I know you think I'm holding you down
And I've fallen by the wayside now
And I don't understand the same things as you
But I do
/
Don't laugh at me
Don't look away
/
You'll follow me back
With the sun in your eyes
And on your own
Bedshaped, two legs of stone
You'll knock on my door
And up we'll go
In white light
I don't think so
But what do I know?
What do I know?
I know
/
ahahaa ahahaa ahahaa ahahaa
/
ooooohhhhhhhh
And up we'll go
In white light
I don't think so
But what do I know?
What do I know?
I know
