lyrics

everything is just ok
i saw you yesterday
i just don't know where to start
holding my broken heart

your water's overflowing
i'm here to let you know
you're mother's on the table
she's calling out for you

but that's life, the spotlight

everything in life is free
but everybody has told me
there's only certain way's to live
in all of them you have to give

i can't say that i'm sorry
these things happen to you
let me live my life by myself
(because this doesn't work)
i just want something new

but that's life, the spotlight, shining

everything is just ok
today's just not my day
stop telling me i'm out of line
it's not my fault this time
