Forever is a long time
And life is too damn short
To sweat that small stuff
Ya feel me
You ever have days
Where you're feelin' depressed
Standin' right at the edge
Lookin' down from a cliff
Wonderin' when life
Will get better than this
Wanna end all the pain
And jump in the abyss
Struggle to survive
I guess that's how it is
Barely gettin' by
That's just no way to live
Them bills stack up
Yeah I know how they get
Bank account sucks
And you're credit is zip
When the odds are against ya
Start placin' your bets
Don't ever try
And cash in your chips
At the end of your road
You got to build ya a bridge
Cuz nothin hits harder than this c'mon
Days go by as those days go by
Don't say goodbye don't you say goodbye
Days go by as the days go by
Don't say goodbye don't you ever say goodbye
If you could go back in time
And do it again
You'd do the whole thing right
Cuz ya know where you've been
Had it all planned out
Step by step
Life came along
And flipped the script
You takin drugs to feel hazy
To try and forget
All the pain and the sufferin'
A life of regret
They talkin' to you sweet
Like they one of your friends
Hung out a few times
Now they know where ya live
The grass lookin' green
On that side of the fence
But I been there done that
I'm tellin' ya man
Them drugs might make ya feel numb for a bit
But nothin hits harder than this nah
Days go by as those days go by
Don't say goodbye don't you say goodbye
Days go by as the days go by
Don't say goodbye don't you ever say goodbye
Them games that you played
Put ya through hell
Ya did the best that you could
With the hand you were dealt
Jus rolled wit the punches
Kept takin' them hits
But when ya tried to fight back
Ya swing and ya miss
Ya keep losin' battles
Cuz you're fightin' alone
So ya damned if ya do
And ya damned if ya don't
The thing that hurts more
Than failin' yourself
Is the pain you inflict
By blamin' yourself
At the end of the day
You got ya family and friends
And the healin' starts
Right here with them
Cuz the end is forever
I know life is a bitch
But nothin' hits harder than this c'mon
Days go by as those days go by
Don't say goodbye don't you say goodbye
Days go by as the days go by
Don't say goodbye don't you ever say goodbye
Stay up and stay strong
This too shall pass
As those days go by
