What Could've Been - Fucked Up

a man takes his seat by himself

he stares at his plate life has taken a bite

i want to cry or just cry out

wanting to speak but i don’t even try

so we go on our way to wind down the days

what is it that makes life this way?

i will leave you alone as you leave me

what could have been had i not kept to my own?

there is a woman i see every week on the street

i think of the life we could have if i’d speak

we don’t say a word lovers who will never meet

i have to live out my life in my sleep

What Could’ve Been

walking around in a cage every day

what is it that makes life this way?

i’m just a simple man who’s lost his way

hoping that i’ll find real life one day

shrinking through life never making a sound

who will hear us when we hit the ground?

a shile at last as my head hits the floor

i don’t have to live like this anymore.
