I seem to be easily impressed
by things that I've seen in my life
and I know that they all mean a lot to me
so I'll never forget them
with my hand up I'll look at the sun
and I'll open my fingers a bit
so a sharp ray of light will cut through to my eyes
it'll burn them forever
now I'm going blind
did I really mean it?
and the blurry lights
are they telling me a secret?
give it up 'cause it won't get better
I've managed to see what I couldn't then
I wanted it right back from the start
and I'll believe it in the end
everybody wants to count for something
everybody wants to see what they couldn't then
don't break what you can't fix 'cause I won't
and I'm believing it
I always think back to the time
when everything was perfectly aligned in my head
but I know that it's never the same
so I start to forget it
fading into the night I'm free
to look up at the stars 'til I see
all the things that I thought that I wanted to be
they'll be burning forever
give it up 'cause it won't get better
I've managed to see what I couldn't then
I wanted it right back from the start
and I'll believe it in the end
everybody wants to count for something
everybody wants to see what they couldn't then
don't break what you can't fix 'cause I won't
and I'll believe it in the end
I know that I sang it before
but I didn't really mean it
I know with the time that we spent
well I didn't waste a minute
I know that what matters to me
doesn't matter in the end
give it up 'cause it won't get better
I've managed to see what I couldn't then
I wanted it all from the start
and I'll believe it in the end
everybody wants to count for something
everybody wants to see what they couldn't then
don't break what you can't fix 'cause I won't
it's the start of the end
