You will never be alright

And I will never be okay

And I can't be your jesus christ

'cause I am but a mortal man

Just looking for the promised land.

It kills me slowly

(You never know watcha got 'til it's gone forever)

My one and only

(It's time say goodbye)

When life gets hard

Sing the prayer

For this cross I have to bear

And this smile I'm forced to wear

And I'm no good, no good can't you tell

And if you could cast a spell

Would it be to watch me fail (well I prevail)

(I prevail)

You will never see the light

Heaven will not know your name

And my only real advice

Is the only thing that you ignore

Is exactly what you're looking for.

So listen closely

(You never know watcha got 'til it's gone forever)

My one and only

(It's time say goodbye)

When life gets hard

Sing the prayer

For this cross I have to bear

And this smile I'm forced to wear

And I'm no good, no good can't you tell

And if you could cast a spell

Would it be to watch me fail.

Woah, when life gets hard

Sing the prayer

For this cross I have to bear

And this smile I'm forced to wear

And I'm no good, no good can't you tell

Oh, if I could cast a spell

I would send you straight to hell.

And if you could cast a spell

Would it be to watch me fail (I prevail)

(I prevail)
