about

Heaven Knows I'm One of Those

lyrics

I wish upon a falling star, I did my best to reach you
Among the things I can't explain
I did my best to teach you
I had a dream a sweet angel was waiting in bed to
greet me
To let the changes I've endured not shatter my
soul completely

Cause Heaven knows I'm one of those
I'm too complacent to decide of I've
Had enough for several lives and I'm
About to wreck this one thinking about it

We all want the greatest offer
But sometimes settle for the very first
Disaster that happens to come our way
And leave us for dead tomorrow
You never know how far it goes
Until you ride that beast every step of the way
A mile short of the promised land
One step over the ledge

Cause Heaven knows I'm one of those
I'm too complacent to decide of I've
Had enough for several lives and I'm
About to wreck this one thinking about it

Cause Heaven knows I'm one of those
I'm too complacent to decide of I've
Had enough for several lives and I'm
About to wreck this one thinking about it

Baby my heart's feelin' frail
God how I fought to keep you happy tooth and nail
Baby my heart's feelin' frail
I can't believe the way you'd smile when I'd fail
So pick up your paintbrush baby now
If you think you're watching another martyr get
stuffed in the ground now
