C'est la Vie

Take and give but not completely Don't make the same mistakes that led them here Bleed but don't you die You're only fifteen Swig and keep your aim very high Kiss and touch but don't cross the line And if she turns you down Well you just turn around And burry the angry baby in the ground But you trip yourself as you run from the gallows And you bruise your heart and suppress the lovers quarrels Just another broken soul in cliché narrative Yet you kid yourself thinking you could outrun the shadows Take a leap of faith, it's only science Past mistakes they don't define us now Or so you think till I list every sin And call you by my father's secret name Swig and swish, the bottle doesn't understand And the rest of the world Well they can judge us now Fourteen years by the guard house Do they know me now? But you trip yourself as you run from the gallows And you bruise your heart and suppress the lovers quarrels Just another broken soul in cliché narrative Yet you kid yourself thinking you could outrun the shadows It's too late now It's how we're programmed And I'd give you all my heart But it's almost numb I know you're alone, you are cold Even when we're close C'est la vie, what did you think When I said we won't always be happy? But you trip yourself as you run from the gallows And you bruise your heart and suppress the lovers quarrels Just another broken soul in cliché narrative Yet you kid yourself thinking you could outrun the shadows C'est la vie, what did you think When I said we won't always be happy?
