I wake up, put my poker face on It's roughly the same hand I was dealt yesterday I stand up and stare out at the skyline It's roughly the same town That I saw yesterday Living doesn't come first try It takes a lifetime getting it right It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing To find my place in the worlds symphony To become the man today The man I thought I could be It takes a lifetime It takes a lifetime I wake up and bandage these scars The scars of my heart That prove that I'm still alive That I'm still alive Living doesn't come first try It takes a lifetime getting it right It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing To find my place in the worlds symphony To become the man today The man I thought I could be The man I thought I could be The man I thought I could be It takes a lifetime It takes a lifetime It takes a lifetime It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing To find my place in the worlds symphony To become the man today The man I thought I could be It takes a lifetime It takes a lifetime To become the man today The man I thought I could be It takes a lifetime It takes a lifetime
