lyrics

EVERYTHING
Did you pin your hopes to the highest tree?
Did you think that you might be something?
Did they cut you down, and just keep cutting?
Did they say you dream too big?

I am here falling asleep on the steps again
Why’ve you got everything?
Why’ve I got nothing?
Out in the cold while your tv is flickering
Why’ve you got everything
Why’ve I got nothing at all
Why’ve you got everything

And it stays with you ‘til your dyin’ day
From the very first breath you take
As the penny spins, there's a twist of fate
Can you change the path you take?

I am here falling asleep on the steps again
Why’ve you got everything?
Why’ve I got nothing?
Hold out my hand while you walk by indifferent
Why’ve you got everything
Why’ve I got nothing at all
Why’ve you got everything
Why’ve I got nothing at all

And it stings so hard to feel that I’m failing at life
The biting embrace of a bitter disgrace
But I can dare to dream
That I may be redeemed
And find a quiet place
For an overloaded heart

Do you ever feel like you’re spread too thin
Are you holding on by your fingertips
Like a house of cards that keeps caving in
can you build it up again?

I am here falling asleep on the steps again
Why’ve you got everything?
Why’ve I got nothing?
You’re one street away
But the whole world seems different
Why’ve you got everything
Why’ve I got nothing at all?
This could be you but it was me
