This Life

Lyrics

Baby, I know pain is as natural as the rain
 I just thought it didn't rain in California
 Baby, I know love isn't what I thought it was
 'Cause I've never known a love like this before ya
 ♪
 Baby, I know dreams tend to crumble at extremes
 I just thought our dream would last a little bit longer
 There's a time when every man draws a line down in the sand
 We're surviving, we're still living I was stronger
 ♪
 You've been cheating on, cheating on me
 I've been cheating on, cheating on you
 You've been cheating on me
 But I've been cheating through this life
 
 And all its suffering
 Oh Christ,
 Am I good for nothing?
 ♪
 Baby, I know hate is always waiting at the gate
 I just thought we locked the gate when we left in the morning
 I was told that war is how we landed on these shores
 I just thought the drums would all be loud warnings
 ♪
 You've been cheating on, cheating on me
 I've been cheating on, cheating on you
 You've been cheating on me
 But I've been cheating through this life
 And all its suffering
 
 Oh Christ, am I good for for nothing?
 Baby, I know death probably hasn't happened yet
 'Cause I don't remember living life before this
 And darling, our disease is the same one as the trees
 Unaware that they've been living in a forest
 ♪
 You've been cheating on, cheating on me
 I've been cheating on, cheating on you
 You've been cheating on me
 But I've been cheating through this life
 
 And all its suffering
 ♪
 Oh Christ, am I good for nothing?
 This life and all its suffering
