We're all a little messed
up in our own ways
And we always will be
marking days on prison walls
Every time you think that
maybe there's a chance
for redemption
Don't hold tight onto
your own breath
Before you know
there's nothing left
There's nothing left
in your memories
That has a thing
to do with me
Or where I've been
for all these years
Grinding smiles
and forcing gears
I never thought I'd
ever be this old
And I always made a
point to never act my age
Now I guess it's silly
to expect anything more
from Everyone that
gave so much and more
You gave your time
There's nothing left
in your memories
That has a thing
to do with me
Or where I've been
for all these years
Grinding smiles
and forcing gears
There's nothing left
in your memories
That gives you
reason to believe
That the words
I'm telling you
Have always turned
out to be true
I've tried and I've
tried to keep you satisfied
But I may never reach the top
Bm(hold) A(hold)
Everything I wanted
from this life
You gave your time
There's nothing left
in your memories
(You gave your time)
That has a thing
to do with me
(You gave your time)
Or where I've been
for all these years
(You gave your time)
Grinding smiles
and forcing gears
(You gave your time)
There's nothing left
in your memories
That gives you
reason to believe
That the words
I'm telling you
Bm(hold)
