Feels like preparing for war
Anticipating
But we don't know what it's for
We just keep waiting
The force at work in the dark
It's unrelenting
If love will tear us apart
Then I'm repenting
Every passing breath
That leaves my chest
Exhales and sails away
You should know
When my back's against the wall
And there's just nowhere to go
I don't need this anymore
Yes I do feel better
(Oh you should know) My life goes on
(Oh you should know) And life goes on
(Oh you should know) My life goes on
(Oh you should know)
With all the rights and the wrongs
They twist perspective
Maintain the status too long
And you'll regret it
And as time ticks by
And I question why
I don't up and leave today
You should know
When my back's against the wall
And there's just nowhere to go
I don't need this anymore
Yes I do feel better
(Oh you should know) My life goes on
(Oh you should know) And life goes on
(Oh you should know) My life goes on
(Oh you should know)
I should have known
I'd never have known
I should have known
To leave well alone
I should have known
I'd never atone
I should have known
I should have known
(Oh you should know) My life goes on
(Oh you should know) And life goes on
(Oh you should know) My life goes on
(Oh you should know) And life goes on
(Oh you should know) My life goes on
(Oh you should know) And life goes on
(Oh you should know) My life goes on
(Oh you should know)
