Track No: 03

When the sun goes up
You're searching for a love
So your heart won't lead you to anyone
When the sun goes down
I know what you become
You become awake
Unlike the rest of us
The afternoon has gently passed me by
The evening spreads itself against the sky
Waiting for tomorrow
Just another day
God bid yesterday goodbye
I lay my head on a thousand beds
It's been a test to see how far a man
Can go without himself
I think I lost the only piece that held it all in place
Now my madness is the only love I let myself embrace
I could've stayed but I chose the life
I chose the life, then I realized
She might've been the one
I let it go for a little fun
I made a trade, gave away our days
For a little fame
Now I'll never see your face
But it's okay, I adapted anyway, oh
Adapted to these models
Whose adapted to the bottle
They take it down like water
Just to burn away their sorrows
I'll stay up till tomorrow
Just to tear down all their morals
And all is fair in love and war, she's pure
So pure
Like the love that's so uncut and raw and clean
So clean
As opposed to what I offered
Because I chose the life
I chose the life, then I realized
She might've been the one
I let it go for a little fun, oh
I made a trade, gave away our days
For a little fame
Now I'll never see your face
But it's okay, I adapted anyway
Ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Ooh-ooh, yeah
She might just be the one
She might just be the one
She might just be the one
She might just be the one
The afternoon has gently passed me by
The evening spreads itself against the sky
Waiting for tomorrow
Just another day
God bid yesterday goodbye
