Lyrics

LIFE ISN’T ALWAYS FAIR

I thought you’d always be here;
I thought you’d always be near.
My success would be yours to share;
We’d be together everywhere -
But life isn’t always fair.

Cruel fate, twisted hate;
Watch as we disintegrate.
Ruthless clocks, one black box;
Two lives scuttled on the rocks.

I thought there was enough time;
We could continue our climb.
Reach the top with days to spare;
Leave that cold valley of care -
But life isn’t always fair.

Cruel fate, twisted hate;
Watch as we disintegrate.
Ruthless clocks, one black box;
Two lives scuttled on the rocks.

Guess we took things for granted;
We sowed seeds, but we planted
On soil so rocky and bare,
Nothing could really grow there -
But life isn’t always fair.

Cruel fate, twisted hate;
Watch as we disintegrate.
Ruthless clocks, one black box;
Two lives scuttled on the rocks.

How hollow these vacant rooms sound!
I’ll follow their death rattle down.
I’m finished pretending to care;
I’ll wallow in unwished despair -
But life isn’t always fair.


Cruel fate, twisted hate;
Watch as we disintegrate.
Ruthless clocks, one black box;
Two lives scuttled on the rocks.
