lyrics

We spend our lives evolving into who we want to be
When all that's left is ash and dust all that speaks are memories
I'm far from being Bailey though I'm careful with my words
I'm always finding fault in the things I haven't learned
Sharing a bit of time can tend to stop all of the pain
A faint glimmer of decency could take the drugs away

No, I don't think I'm fine
I've torn apart my heart, at least I've got my mind
Oh, I see you're not the same
Just a shell of what you were, still bearing the name
But you've lost your way

Family and cinema taught me how to be a man
Often time I slip, though I do the best I can
To be the Mr. Bailey that they show on silver screens
Because the world's spinning fast and it's getting hard to see
On our darkest days our efforts tend to find a way to falter
I asked you for your help, but you had none left to offer

No, I don't think I'm fine
I've torn apart my heart, at least I've got my mind
Oh, I see you're not the same
Just a shell of what you were, still bearing the name
But you've lost your way

I just want to live, knowing I can die with who I am
Proud of what we did, when we struggled with the places we should stand
Because if death's the bitter end, and there's nothing more than dirt
Then we should know we lived our lives like Bailey

No, I don't think I'm fine
I've torn apart my heart, at least I've got my mind
Oh, I see you're not the same
Just a shell of what you were, still bearing the name
But you've lost your way
