Everyone makes choices, but I can't say which is right,
And everyone made promises and only meant to lie,
And I don't know what to do,
And I don't know just what to say anymore,
This is my life and times.

Lying down in darkness with my ear against the door,
I closed my eyes and caught a fleeting glimpse,
And wanted more of the life that struck my soul with feelings too great to ignore,
But this is my life and times.

Everyone makes choices, but I can't say which is right,
And everyone made promises and only meant to lie,
And I don't know what to do,
And I don't know just what to say anymore,
This is my life and times.

The seconds turned to days, and now I'm older,
And I know it's time for me to start anew,
But I buckle from the weight that's on my shoulder and I need someone...
Need someone...
Need someone...
Need someone to help me through.

Daddy couldn't speak to me before he ceased to live,
Although he held his hands to me, my eyes could not forgive all the pain that they had seen, and hoped my mind would not relive,
But oh, this is my life and times.

Everyone makes choices, but I can't say which is right,
And everyone made promises and only meant to lie,
And I don't know what to do,
And I don't know just what to say anymore,
This is my life and times.

This is my life and times,
Oh no, no,
This is my life and times.
