Many of us want to live in peace
But so many of us fail to live our dreams
Why did I believe that I could do it
There was something I didn't know but I should have knew it
There was something I didn't know but I should have knew it
There was something I didn't know
But I wish I knew it
Wasting my time on rhymes and things that children sing about
Wasting my time on writing all that I can live without
Wasting my time on you and I, and the days without
I know that it's wrong
I know that it's wrong
Many of us want to be alright
But it's hard enough when you can't believe your eyes
Why did I believe that I could do it
There was something I should have known but I didn't know it
There was something I should have known but I didn't know it
There was something I should have known
And I wish I knew it
