Life can be tough sometimes. Don't let it get the best of you.

lyrics

I'd like to be able to
Call you once in a while
This text on a screen is so
Impersonal, so lonely I could cry

And I'd like to break these walls down
That I have built around my entire life
Just give up on my self-doubt
And my petty pride, the selfish things I hide

But I realise:

This is just life
Sometimes it hurts
There's no wrong or right
Just what you'd prefer

As hard as you try
You could still fail
But do it all the same
Even if to no avail

This is just life

I'd like to be able to
Look you in the eye, but I can't when I try
Not for fear but for regret
Of all the wasted time, of theirs as well as mine

I like you but I don't want
To lie awake at night, to toss and turn and cry
When I need to move on
To another time, another to call mine

I sigh, resigned:

This is just life
Sometimes it hurts
There's no wrong or right
Just what you'd prefer

As hard as you try
You could still fail
But do it all the same
Even if to no avail

This is just life

I'd like to be able to
Call you once in a while
