Can you show me how it feels

When I keep building this forever shield?

I'm standing on the corner of love and despair

But I've never met another soul who's stayed longer there

These guiding lights and advice don't seem to work

I hang my head high and expect the worst

But don't think for a moment that I won't give it my all

It's the only thing that keeps me running from the alcohol

Sometimes you shine and sometimes you burn out the light

Sometimes they call and some days you're left behind

But everybody falls, everybody loses their mind

Yeah, everyone falls, everyone gets their time

I'm looking for my brother, I remember every word he said

He always has an answer to show me he cares

I get up and go out and put on that face they like

Say all the right things, don't start any fights

But I need a little dirt and grime to break myself

Put yesterday away and leave all the love

It ain't over 'til it's over, I'll remember when I'm old and gray

Singing this louder on my dying day

And I say, I say

Sometimes you shine and sometimes you burn out the light

(Sometimes, sometimes)

Sometimes they call and some days you're left behind

(Sometimes, sometimes)

But everybody falls, everybody loses their mind, oh

Everyone falls, everyone gets their time

Yeah, sometimes you shine and sometimes you burn out the light

(Sometimes, sometimes)

Yeah, sometimes they call and some days you're left behind

(Sometimes, sometimes)

But everybody falls, everybody loses their mind, oh

Yeah, everyone falls, everyone gets their time

Everyone falls, everyone gets their time
