I know that life has ups and downs
I'm barraged by a cacophony of strange sounds
But there's beauty in this world and in ourselves
And the goodness in us never dwells
I know that life is bittersweet
There are many hurdles we must defeat
And I know that there are many enemies
Casting shadows on our best memories
I know that there are people who hurt
Always spinning their white lies, thinking it'll work
But they don't matter, it's us who do
Let's live our lives out and remain true
There are so many experiences left to live
Friends to make, and gifts to give
I know that life is bittersweet
There are many hurdles we must defeat
And I know that there are many enemies
Casting shadows on our best memories
I hope, I hope
That the future is bright
And that I forget the memories that leave me behind
I wait, I wait
For a time where I'll embrace the dark night
And that I'll have someone in which to confide
I know that life is bittersweet
It takes all of our energy not to deplete
I know that there are always enemies
Who strive to poison all our remedies
I hope, I hope
That the future is bright
And that I forget the memories that leave me behind
