Verse 1
Woke up this morning with a song in my head.
Picked up my guitar and I started to play.
All my pain started swirling around me.
I got lost and I couldn’t sing.
All the sudden all the words just left me.
I gave up and I let you win.
Verse 2
I went to bed with a feeling inside.
Closed my eyes and it all rushed in.
Now I’m lying here with all my feelings.
I can’t sleep and it makes me sad.
Where’s the switch to turn it all off?
I’ve learned my lesson in futility.
Bridge:
Life isn’t perfect
But it gets close to it sometimes.
The things you take for granted
Right before your eyes.
Listen real closely
And soak it all in
Life isn’t perfect
But it gets close to it sometimes
Chorus:
When you find that things seem hopeless.
If you run into a wall of doubt.
When the problems start to take you over.
You can always heal a damaged heart.
Remember that there’s someone out there.
Remember you are truly loved.
There’s a lesson every time you fall down.
There’s a message…
And there’s a reason…
Just read between the lines.
Verse 3
I’ll let you know when I have a bad day.
When everything comes crashing in.
I try to keep the bad things at bay.
But consequences make you run away.
There has to be a way to outrun sadness.
I just want to have a good day.
Verse 4
Woke up this morning with a song in my head.
Picked up my guitar and I started to play.
All the words started flowing from me.
It sort of felt like therapy.
I always knew I had the music in me.
But Im never gonna let you in.
Bridge:
Life isn’t perfect
But it gets close to it sometimes.

Right before your eyes.
Listen real closely
And soak it all in
Life isn’t perfect
But it gets close to it sometimes
Chorus:
When you find that things seem hopeless.
If you run into a wall of doubt.
When the problems start to take you over.
You can always heal a damaged heart.
Remember that there’s someone out there.
Remember you are truly loved.
There’s a lesson every time you fall down.
There’s a message…
And there’s a reason…
Just read between the lines.
