Woke up this morning, the sun rose again. Wasn’t real sure that it would.
I realize these tired old eyes probl’ly don’t see like they should.
Try this again, but know I won’t win, might not do any good.
What’s the point of it all?
Gave it a shot, but I’m guessing it’s not any more likely today.
Hope for the best, but if I had to guess, it’s never going away.
Forced to decide, so I gave it a try, not a whole lot left to say.
What’s the point of it all?
I put it all on the line, I never stopped trying, I never gave in.
You say it’s gonna be fine, but I know you’re lying, you’ve always been
In love with what oughta be instead of what truly is.
Have to admit that the same goes for me, truth doesn’t always win.
I wear those rose colored glasses as well, I fell in love with what’s been.
The diff’rence for me is that I see the why, not just the the where and the when.
What’s the point of it all?
I put it all on the line, I never stopped trying, I never gave in.
You say it’s gonna be fine, but I know you’re lying, you’ve always been
In love with what oughta be instead of what truly is.
