It's Only Temporary -

What I thought was love has me falling apart

Don’t know if I can heal from this broken heart

Didn’t think my partner would ever give up on me

Guess I made it hard when I wouldn’t give in

Looking back on all my selfishness and all my sin

You were drowning in the darkness that made it so I couldn’t see

I wanna go back to the days when I wasn’t afraid

The good life with my wife and the family we made

There was once a time when everything seemed alright

So take me back to the time when I was a boy

Before innocence was lost and released its joy

But that was all in the past and it was only temporary

Now I gotta move, I gotta play my part

Focus on my children and my music and art

Life ain’t gonna stop and wait for a shit like me

Learn from my regrets and I’ll try to be

A good man working hard with integrity

I’m changing my perspective and that’s what’s gonna set me free

I wanna look now to the world that I’m living in

Time to stand up on my own and it’s time to begin

I’m only bound by the limits I set for myself

I gotta have hope for the future no matter the case

Looking forward with my dreams until I reach that place

It doesn’t matter if I fail

Cause life is only temporary

And why do I have to do this on my own

I cry, lord why don’t you just take me home

Could you hand me the instructions please

I’ve been pleading to you on my knees

Yeah you just tell me what to do

I’ll do my best to follow through (bam)

I wanna look back on my life and let it all go

Death is coming for us all but we’ll never know

When he’s gonna catch us and take us to the other side

I wanna have faith that I loved and I did my best

Give these open arms an eternal rest

But I know that day is gonna come

I know that day is gonna come

I know that day is gonna come

Cause life is only temporary
