Do I deserve a second chance today
What would change 
If one happened to come my way
Junk accumulated over the years
Could I give all away 
Would these attachments fade

Mementos, forget me nots, gorillas in the room 
Like it or not all I've ever had
Was a past to throw away
I'm a slave of impulse
Clutching a sad bouquet
Now I'm weeping by the grave 
Of a life survived but never lived

I'm weeping by the grave 
Of a life survived but never lived
I'm screaming into the void
Of a life survived but never lived

In a life that takes but never gives 
Anger is no defense 
For the river's flow is passive
From another life the lesson lands
Touched down in my hands
Will I carve a happy ending
 
Wary of the love I see around
Reminds me of the someone I let down
to have it all my own way  
Now the silence speaking in volumes 
Hating that I stayed
I'm weeping by the grave
Of a life survived but never lived

I'm weeping by the grave
Of a life survived but never lived
I'm screaming into the void 
Of a life survived but never lived

Devoured by the lack of love I felt
A losing hand was dealt 
I turned and walked away 

From the warmth of an easy compromise 
That I soon grew to despise
Should I regret I didn't stay 
Easier to simply say
We belong in different endings
No doubt for sure that way

I'm weeping by the grave.
Of a life survived but never lived.
I'm screaming into the void 
Of a life survived but never lived

It has its way with you it runs away from you
A life survived but never lived

I'm weeping by the grave
Of a life survived but never lived
I'm screaming into the void 
Of a life survived but never lived
