The Way That We Have Been

Why have we been so reckless?
 Acting like we don't know right from wrong
 And it's not like we didn't expect it
 When we've really known all along
 It could only be so long until we really felt it
 We've been digging our way down instead of digging our way out
 We can't keep living the way that we have been
 It'll catch up to us and destroy everything else as well
 I know we were never perfect
 But it was more than worth it
 And we don't deserve it
 The strain that we give with the way that we live
 It's taken too long for this realization
 But I'm hoping we will have so many more
 I never want to stop trying to make things better
 No matter how good I think they are
 Why have we been so complacent?
 Accepting everything as good enough
 With all the effort we never put in
 Convenience was the priority to us
 Taking the first step is the hardest part
 After we've been digging our way down
 Instead of digging our way out
 We can't keep living the way that we have been
 It'll catch up to us and destroy everything else as well
 I know we were never perfect
 But it was more than worth it
 And we don't deserve it
 The strain that we give with the way that we live

 It's taken too long for this realization
 We're all sorry for the lost time
 But will we take a step in a new direction? (A new direction)
 I don't want to waste any more time
 But I can't do this without you
 Will you take my hand? (Will you take my hand?)
 We can't keep living the way that we have been
 It'll catch up to us and destroy everything else as well
 We can't keep living the way that we have been (That we have been)
