Verse 1
What I am
And what you see
Two different things
It's time to be
Moving forward
Staying strong
We can stay
But "Life Goes On"
When God created you, he made a work of art, art, art, art, art
The silver lining holding up my broken heart, heart, heart, heart, heart
But everyone is telling me it's time to move along
I love you and I miss you, so I'll tell you in this song
Lifting Up, and Letting Go is hard when holding on
I'm no longer holding on
Hope you miss me when I'm gone

Chorus
Staring out the window at the city lights, the city lights, the city lights
If I could sing I'd write a song you really like, you really like, you really like
All we ever wanted was a pretty life, a pretty life, a pretty life
If I could sing I'd write a song you really like, you really like, you really like

Verse 2
Who I am
And who you know
Two different people
It's time to show
Who I've become
What I've allowed
Wish you could see it
I know you'd be proud
Take the heart of a man
Wanna shake it up, better start with the hand
Permanently stay like the marks of a pen
Never think twice, parts of the plan
But what
What do you do when you're starvin’ again?
Wanna give it up but love is in
The air, mixed in with arguing?
Carve your name into my heart and I won't let you fade away
Use the sharpest tool you have, baby I can take the pain
Fill my brain with happiness, no nightly charge, enjoy the stay
Leave no room for others, please do not disturb, I'm full today
They never tell you that love will alter fabrics of your heart
Never told me that love would change directions of my art
Never told us that we were just experiencing that start
And I never told you that you could keep like all them broken parts
Chorus
Staring out the window at the city lights, the city lights, the city lights
If I could sing I'd write a song you really like, you really like, you really like
All we ever wanted was a pretty life, a pretty life, a pretty life
If I could sing I'd write a song you really like, you really like, you really like
