It's been a bit of a while since I seen you smile
 It's been too long baby what went wrong
 Tell me how it got spoilt
 Tell me when it went bad
 How to get back to the times that we had

 We were both young
 And our spirits were bold
 Now we're just angry and we act like we're old
 We can't even talk it out without one of us walking away

 You were 18 I just turned 29
 I was fresh out the coffin
 Girl you were so fine
 The future was bright
 The world, it seemed new
 I was with some other woman
 I was thinking of you
 I know how it hurts
 I know how it feels
 I know it how aches
 Cause the heart never heals
 We're so busy screaming that we don't hear the words that we say
 Taking out lumps
 Took a few blows
 Hit a few bumps
 Had our fair share of woes
 We tried to see good
 Through all of the bad
 Put on our smiles
 Pretend we're not sad
 Gotta be tough
 Gotta be strong
 Gotta be right
 Can't afford to be wrong
 It's hard to sing the blues
 When you're hearing bad news everyday

 We worry too much for one couple to bear
 Hunger so much for one person to care
 Fooling our family
 We're fooling our friends
 Pray that the pain and the [bad word] ends
 Hope is a chance
 Hope is a dream
 Hope is a [bad word] 
 Maybe hope's a vaccine

 In the race against time I get down on my knees and I pray
 Shout at the devil
 I curse the lord
 Offer them everything I can afford
 I'd sell out my soul
 I'd lie and deceive
 Tried to be righteous
 Tried to believe
 Prayed every prayer
 Kicked all of my highs
 For hours I'd stare at those beautiful eyes
 All of my problems seem to be melting away
 The smile on her face says daddy everything is okay

 In the race against time I get down on my knees and I pray
