[verse 1] It's amazing how much love can make a man do but just as much that it can take of you but when you wanna give and no one's there to take it what the fuck am I supposed to do? I tried But I always love too much too fast all I ever wanted was someone who'd last I know I can be a bit much sometimes. Hell, I'm alot most of the time. Even when I'm fine I'M FUCKIN' SCREAMIN' INSIDE! I don't want much Just someone who cares someone who gives a fuck I'm even there. IS ANYBODY FUCKIN' THERE?! Too many times I tried. But get knocked back too much well, it's better to stay down sometimes. I told myself I'm happier alone I don't need no-one around A comfortable lie. That's all it really is. Better to suffer in silence than to pull my chest open and show the world my personality. But then I got old. Starting to get grey on my chinny-chin too. And looking back on life. Staying quiet's the worst thing you can do. [Chorus] Watchin' life from the sidelines Watchin' it all go by Wishin' I coulda just had Someone who cares if I live or die Watchin' life from the sidelines. Watchin' it all go by I never felt so empty But I've never been one to try [Break] [Verse 2] I coulda had a family! A wife and kids. A fucking picket fence n shit The American dream. I COULDA BEEN SOMEONE! I coulda been somebody's world If only I'd ever tried But who wants an old man, Who's never known life? I hollowed myself out Nobody else did that I DID IT TO ME! IT WAS ALL ME! I don't need much Just for someone to care Someone to listen Someone to tell me they're there I'd wanna give love to somebody ANY-FUCKIN'-BODY'S FINE! I've got nearly 40 years built up and nobody to share it with TAKE MY FUCKIN' LOVE! HAHA! [Chorus] Watchin' life from the sidelines Watchin' it all go by Wishin' I coulda just had Someone who cares if I live or die Watchin' life from the sidelines. Watchin' it all go by I never felt so empty But I've never been one to try [Bridge] Keep it all in yeah that worked out great didn’t it? Real fuckin’ genius just rot quiet, that’s the trick No one can hurt you if no one’s ever close Yeah… turns out that’s worse than both [Final Chorus] Watchin' life from the sidelines Watchin' it all go by Wishin' I coulda just had Someone who cares if I live or die Watchin' life from the sidelines. Watchin' it all go by I never felt so empty But I've never been one to try [outro]
