It's been a bit of a while since I seen you smile
It's been too long, baby, what went wrong?
Tell me how it got spoiled, tell me when it went bad
How to get back to the times that we had

We were both young and our spirits were bold
Now we're just angry and we act like we're old
We can't even talk it out without one of us walking away

When you were 18, I just turned 29
Was fresh out the coffin girl, and you were so fine
The future was bright the world it seemed knew
I was with some other woman but I was thinking of you

I knew how it hurts and I knew how it feels
I knew how it aches, 'cause heart never heals
We were so busy screaming
We don't hear the words that we say

Taking our lumps, we took a few blows
Hit a few bumps, had a fair share of woes
We try to see good, it's been a while with the bad
Put on our smiles and pretend we're not sad

We gotta be tough, we gotta be strong
Gotta be right, can't afford to be wrong
It's hard to sing the blues
When you're reading bad news everyday

We worry too much for one couple to bear
We hunger so much for one person to care
Fooling our families, we're fooling our friends
Pray that the pain and the frustration ends

Hope is a chance, hope is a dream
Hope is a drug maybe hope is a vaccine
In the race against time
I get down on my knees and I pray

Shout at the devil, I cursed the Lord
Offered them everything I could afford
I'd sell out my soul, I've lied and deceived
Tried to be righteous, tried to believe

Prayed every prayer
Kicked all of my highs
For hours I stare at those beautiful eyes
All of my problems seemed to be melting away

The smile on her face says
"Daddy, everything is okay"
In the race against time
I get down on my knees and I pray
