The Only Thing 歌词

Couldn't keep the walls From caving in Looked beyond the loss And I saw no end Didn't mean to be A disappointment, my friend I told you years ago I'm not heaven sent Not heaven sent This is what happens when You tell your truth to the river And it keeps on flowing by You plant your flag on the summit Just to turn around to find It goes higher than the sky It goes higher than your mind's eye This is what happens when You raise your voice to the storm cloud And the lightning strikes your boat And you know there's no hope for the willfulness That kept your ignorance afloat I'm sorry if you hate me now Or if you pity my lot But I'll keep on singing like it's the only thing I've got Like it's the only thing I've got
