I stick around but still I found, my number never comes up
I try to count the reasons down, but I'm always one off
The story of my life, starts to make some sense
Wondering where I've gone, and where I've been since
But here comes my excuses
I guess I really missed the boat this time
It's just the story of my life
I just chalk it up to circumstance
Ain't that the story of my life
I took my time to work it out, but left myself so empty
I'd give it all to figure out where I'm off to now
The story of my life, starts to make some sense
Wondering where I've gone, and where I've been since
But here comes my excuses
I guess I really missed the chances I denied
It's just the story of my life
I just chalk it up to circumstance
Ain't that the story of my life
I guess I really miss my tears, have I forgotten how to feel
Do I still have the time, Do I remember how to shine
Here comes my excuses
It's just the story of my life, that's all
Here comes resolution

Colors So High

It's taken a while to be who I am
A trial by fire, disowned by the wind
But I'm not the one that's faking
Why, oh why are the colors so high
While I'm standing still in the middle tonight
And all these senses dull
I wished upon stars that never knew my name
But I may be mistaken
I filled up my world with just another song
But I know it still feels vacant
Why, oh why are the colors so high
While I'm standing still in the middle tonight
And all those wounds grow cold
I found my pace, a smiling face
This world seems to fade away
Why, oh why are the colors so high
While I'm standing still in the middle tonight
Why, oh why are the colors so high
While I'm standing still in the middle tonight
And all those wounds fade
