lyrics

A dream made so disjointed
And painful to behold
Such empty headed anger
You seem oh so cold, so cold

Then it turned into a nightmare
And for what it's worth
You truly did hang in there
But the feeling won't return

When you've been burned

Looking on the bright side
We're still alive, we're still alive
Don't say that you didn't try
'Cause that's a lie, that's a lie

This Jekyll and Hyde behaviour
Only compounds all your woes
Now you're total strangers
Strangers that you know

You play the game of blaming
Because you can't let go
You've never been too good with failure
And now you've lost control, but

Looking on the bright side
We're still alive, we're still alive
Don't say that you didn't try
'Cause that's a lie, that's a lie

So run in your own direction
If it's meant to be then we will see
Each other again

Looking on the bright side
We're still alive, we're still alive
Don't say that you didn't try
'Cause that's a lie, that's a lie
