Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I guess you're okay
You seem to feel better these days
I've known you for so long
I've seen your brightness go from blue to gray
[Verse 2]
You know that it's true
You can shake your head but I can prove
I've seen things through your eyes
You think you win but in the end you lose
[Verse 3]
And there's no second guess
We take no second bets
Chances are we're a long way from happiness
Don't cover up the road to love
With words that can't express
The truth implies you're high and dry
And you're a long way from happiness
[Verse 4]
I'm one step behind
Looking out for you all the time
I'll put my faith in you
And steer you clear of love that leaves you blind
[Verse 5]
And there's no second guess
We take no second bets
Chances are we're a long way from happiness
Don't cover up the road to love
With words that can't express
The truth implies you're high and dry
And you're a long way from happiness
[Verse 6]
And there's no second guess
We take no second bets
Chances are we're a long way from happiness
Don't cover up the road to love
With words that can't express
The truth implies you're high and dry
And you're a long way from happy
Long way from happy
Long way from happiness
