There's been mistakes and there'll be again
We'll fall from grace every now and then
Loving and losing from pillar to post
The things we hold dear can hurt us the most
It's just the price of surviving we pay
For sticking it out through another day
But it's better than taking the other way out
Ghosts at the table, junkmail and trash
I bury myself in cigarette ash
I draw the curtain, there ain't much to see
The world moves along and forgets about me
It's just the price of surviving we pay
For sticking it out through another day
But it's better than taking the other way out
Hope, carry me now
Hope, carry me now
It's gonna take us the long way around
It's just the price of surviving this life
Learning to breathe through the trouble and strife
When living is only being alive
Then it's just the price of surviving we pay
For sticking it out through another day
But it's better than taking the other way out
