Life goes on no matter what I do
C D Em
I can barely recognize what I've turned into
Can't hardly remember what I was before
Once you've gone so far, it just don't matter anymore
There's no turning back, where would I start?
I drowned out the sound of this telltale heart
with twisted excuses and little white lies
till I have become the thing that I despise
Yeah, life goes on no matter what I say
And I will answer for my sins someday
And every promise made, I have betrayed
I lie down in this filthy bed I've made
But I'm not even sorry for my sins
If I had the chance, I'd do it all again
So don't waste your time, don't feel bad for me
I'm the one responsible for all this misery
So life goes on and on and on and on
I've just once complaIntro: it's taking way too long
The friends that I once had, have turned away
But everything I lost, I never wanted anyway
So I sit and wait alone for that knock upon my door
And after all this time, it doesn't matter anymore
I severed any ties I had a long long time ago
This selfish bastard's story's finally coming to a close
So tonight I say goodbye to everybody I have screwed
That breaks down to roughly everyone I ever knew
So don't kid yourself about me, I never gave a damn
Never had a soul to sell, you see I've always been in hell
It's quite a story I could tell, but you'd never understand
