One third of its rehearsed
One third of it im living
And one third just isnt me at all
And the times when im most honest,
Composing self-pitying sonnets is the part
Where I describe the fall
After all of the times youve scraped through still you'll
Try again something
Despite all if the chances youre given still youll
Risk your little everything
If I dont know what i mean
Then I dont know how to say
I just want to be perfect but my lifes still in your hands
So I'll take it again
And throw it away
I hear beautiful voices but life passes me by
You never won your wars
You never learned the cost
You have never been the type to fight for what you have lost
You havent earned that warmth
And you havent earned your joys
Every good thing youve been given has been turned to wasteful employ
After all of the times youve scraped through still you'll
Try again something
Despite all if the chances youre given still youll
Risk your little everything
If I dont know what i mean
Then I dont know how to say
I just want to be perfect but my lifes still in your hands
So I'll take it again
And throw it away
I hear beautiful voices but life passes me by
And you know the words
Scream them out again
Like you have so many times before
Cos you came off and you stayed off
And you know why,cos youre able
I never had you written off as a casualty
Is it enough to keep you safe?
If I dont know what i mean
Then I dont know how to say
I just want to be perfect but my lifes still in your hands
So I'll take it again
And throw it away
I hear beautiful voices but life passes me by
