Only Life
(John Faye)

Tell yourself one more beautiful thin white lie
Because it's only life
Only life

Some thoughts I just can't lose as hard as I try
Another train goes by, train goes by
I bought these winter blues on the 4th of July
And if these chains don't lie
I'm one link in a reaction
Take a shot I'm right here in the dark
Take whatever you think of me
And shove it up your heart

Tell yourself one more beautiful thin white lie
Because it's only life
Only life
Make myself make believe it'll be all right
'Cause it's my only life
Only life
And I'm taking it back

I pick my battles but I'm losing the war
Another name goes by
There but for the grace of God go I
You look for someone who I'm not anymore
I don't know what I'm fighting for
And I am just one link in a reaction
Take a shot I'm right here in the dark
Take what's left of a memory
And blow it out your heart

Tell yourself one more beautiful thin white lie
Because it's only life
Only life

And you'll never know the ghosts I've seen
I'd never wish them on you
I'd never wish them on you

Tell yourself one more beautiful thin white lie
Because it's only, only
Only life
And I'm gonna try to
Make myself make believe it'll be all right
'Cause it's my only, only
Only life
And I'm taking it back
