Cope

-------

My coat is off.

I shed my skin.

I open up,

and I let you in.

A lighter side,

with a shade of blue.

You talk to me,

and I'll talk to you.

Addiction free,

is no fun at all.

Cigarette smoke,

fills the halls.

A brand new me,

with a point to prove.

Spiraling,

from my point of view.

How am I supposed to forget,

the people I gave my best to?

How am I supposed to forgive,

the people who let live?

Tacky ties,

casual Friday.

All the individual,

styles and ways.

Wrote him off,

oh, yesterday.

Out of the job,

what can he say?

How is he supposed to forget,

that the game of life is a bet?

How is he supposed to forgive,

when no one will ever let live?

[solo]

How am I supposed to forget,

all the people I gave my best to?

How am I supposed to forgive,

when no one will let us in?

How am I supposed to help,

if you won't even tell how?

How am I going to cope,

when you cut me free from your rope?

How am I supposed to predict,

if you'll ever feel happy again?

How are you going to react,

when your life is blown off the tracks?

Oh, how am I supposed to pretend,

I never had a problem to begin with?

How is he supposed to live,

without a job to support him?
