you can not change what you do not understand
Best Way Out
There will come a day when life will confound you
your friends will abandon you
what will you choose to do
I see that you would rather cry your baby eyes out
than turn it around, suck it up and keep your head up
I saw you crying and helpless
I tried to show you the best way out
relax. be cool with who you are
you'll never be anything, you'll never be anyone
why can't you just accept the world the way it is
you can not change what you do not understand
I saw you crying and helpless
I tried to show you the best way out
you say you wish you could end this
it's all over now
you've got the chance to be free
I can't believe you'd rather stand and watch me
just think of something to say
but, watch the way you speak to someone bigger than you
so many times I offered my advice
when it goes code red you've got to suffer to win
you always wait for tomorrow
you spend each day like it was time already wasted
you have a friend in your sorrow
but when it goes code red you've got to suffer to win
you let this world make you cry
take a step back, take the time to wonder why
so many times I fought for what was right
cause when it goes code red you've got to suffer to win
come on, get your act together and never mind your brother
you've got to walk straight
your own depression, your own self pity
is blinding you to all the wrongs that confine you
I saw you crying and helpless
I tried to show you the best way out
you need to show some faith in your convictions
to you there's no distinction between a good and a bad lie
why can't you just accept the world the way it is
and never mind your brother, and never mind your brother
I saw you crying and helpless
I tried to show you the best way out
you say you wish you could end this
There will come a day when life will confound you
your friends will abandon you
what will you choose to do
