The Concretes - A Way Of Life Lyrics
The colour of your eyes has faded,They're not as brown as I remember them as a childOh why wasn't I a real child?Why did I have to run before my morning came around?You were looking for a way of lifeSome way to put your mind asideThis chance you had was your last, you saidI admired your strength to give it one more tryThough the cards were stacked against you, you decided to fight itAnd you, you looked so young againThen the day came aroundOr it was actually an evening, when you failedI remember the moment wasn't anywhere close to rightBut will there ever be for those things?I am still glad you decided to give it a final tryNow all I wish for your well deserved restI know we don't choose our parentsBut we can't ignore the feelings that we grow for them
