This Life (For All You Know)

This life I'm living is eating me away

I don't know how long i can take it all

i know there has to be some better way

even if it gets better a part of me is gone



all i am trying to do is what is right

but everything that is before me

it makes it hard to do it that way

but i know this is how it has to be



it is hard for me to live how i choose

and to not hurt the ones i love

it's a game i'm so afraid to lose

one more step might be one to close



only human i know this all too well

i'm not scared it only seems this way

when someone is feeling like this

it's better not to listen to what they say



putting on the face like it's alright

do not believe everything you see

think what's in front of you is light

you have no idea what's inside of me



for all you know i could be breaking down

all you know i could believe its all okay

for all you know i might soon not be around

but i'm not build that way
