[Verse 1]
Life's no longer skid row and the mission down on second
Anywhere that I might please for once
You came to call
Life’s no longer shadows that I chase around the country
There's places for rent right in town
I'll ask you to stay

[Chorus]
I can go on telling all my friends that you never will be mine
I don’t trust these thoughts, so I pray

[Verse 2]
Life's no longer dry bread that gets passed around the table
In this time, I've come to know there's more
What you're after

[Chorus]
I can go on telling all my friends that you never will be mine
I don't trust these thoughts, so I pray

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
And life's no longer someone that will bring you to your senses
If it takes more time, I can wait
[Chorus]
I can go on telling all my friends that you never will be mine
I don't trust these thoughts, so I pray
I can go on telling all my friends that you never will be mine
I don’t trust these thoughts, so I pray

[Outro]
Life’s no longer skid row and the mission down on second
