"10 Years Too Late" lyrics

Think about where you were 10 years ago
Nobody knew your name, no one was at your shows
Looking for a purpose
Never felt so nervous
Didn't work
Always got caught slipping
Not one outcome different
Didn't work
So, don't tell me that it never went to your head
Empty rooms all the terrible things they said
Think about where you were 10 years ago

Now everyone can tell your cover's blown
You'll end up all alone
With no place to call your own

There's gotta be more to life than all of this
I burn for better days
Take a shot and find your fix
Or fade into the haze
There's gotta be a better way

Think about where you'll be 10 years from now
The people that you know get lowered in the ground
Love becomes a burden
Nothing stays for certain
Go to work
What's behind the curtain?
All your dreams are burning
Go to work
So, don't tell me it was better when you were young
The good old days sounding like you could speak in tongues
Think about where you'll be 10 years from now

Now everyone can tell your cover's blown
You'll end up all alone
With no place to call your own

There's gotta be more to life than all of this
I burn for better days
Take a shot and find your fix
Or fade into the haze
There's gotta be a better way, better way

Don't remind me I've
Heard it a thousand times
If the good die young, I guess my time is up
If the good die young, I guess my time is up
If the good die young, I guess my time is up
I've suffered long enough

If the good die young, I guess my time is up
If the good die young, I guess my time is up

There's gotta be more to life than all of this
I burn for better days
Take a shot and find your fix
Or fade into the haze
There's gotta be a better way, better way
