Sittin’ here, lookin’ through the sparks There’s a lot of stuff but still not enough Hallmark cards, champagne corks and baby shoes I’ve tried to be a better man Doin’ everything the best that I can I’ve never turned and I never lied And sometimes I ask myself why I’m willing to compromise When I look into your big brown eyes It’s hard to be the bearer of bad news I stopped believing in this thing called faith I know that it’s just my fate Cause it’s sends me back to my childhood Never did us any good Be strong for me and you and her Cause that something inside of me is melting away I know when you’ve got the blues You’re callin’ when I’m diallin’ you It’s hard to be the bearer of bad news A perfect world, that sounds so good This institution so misunderstood The dividends of love are gettin’ kind of lean I guess I read too many books on message green mass treen I don’t believe in goodbyes Once again our lives will collide And we’ll reunite as a storm in heaven
