Live moment to moment
Brings regrets
Everyone knows
You have no secrets
Always looking for some
Quick fix
Or something to help you
Forget

And I tried
To keep up with your life
But there’s no time
To let my heart catch up to my mind

And you said it’s fun
To make mistakes
But don’t clean up the messes
You make
Always up for the gamble
Ignore the stakes
Ignore the guilt
No matter how it aches

And I tried
Not to put up a fight
But tonight
I felt your bite

You said I need to learn
To let you do what you do.
Well I hope me leaving
Teaches this back to you

’cause you live so fast
Always running from your past
You live too fast
How can anything ever last
