Good Years Left

it’s for someone else
this pretense
thought it’d make you happy
thought it’d fill you up
with a life that’s complete
with a life that’s robust
missing something
you’re missing something

what’s that they say
you want to have it all
what they mean
is nothing at all
to life by the ocean
washed up on the shore
beaten and broken
can’t take any more

any more
any more
don’t want anymore
any more
any more
don’t want anymore

had so many dreams
when did they die
now you sleep in the bed
of a river run dry
but you’re so important
everything you do
life or death
does it matter to you

to you
to you
does it matter to you
to you
to you
does it matter to you

let’s find a way out of this mess
for the good years we have left
