The Breaks

Well, I know, I know I'll get it right

But I'll stumble on the way

With a constant fear of what's beyond the day

And I know I can't get off this ride

It doesn't matter where I land

I'll just do the best I can and I'll be alright

Well, it's two steps forward, one step back

Play the long game, stay on track

End in the black

Well, that's the breaks like they say

We're all one mistake away

From a life that we look so down upon

And what's that you said?

I recall, it's just business after all

We can't go back to the way life was before

And I know, I know I'm losing sight

Of what matters in the end

With our insecurities we all contend

And I want to feel like I'm alive

With no worries or regret

Not fixated on what hasn't happened yet

Well, I hesitate to crack a smile

And let my guard down for a while

Fearing the trials

Well, that's the breaks like they say

We're all one mistake away

From a life that we look so down upon

And what's that you said?

I recall, it's just business after all

We can't go back to the way life was before

And I can't be the only one who struggles when I see

Pictures of our memories and how life used to be

When we were free, young, and naive

Well, that's the breaks like they say

We're all one mistake away

From a life that we look so down upon

And what's that you said?

I recall, it's just business after all

We can't go back to the way life was before

Well, that's the breaks

We're all one mistake away

Yeah, that's the breaks

And you rise up when you fall

Well, that's the breaks

I recall, it's just business after all

Yeah, that's the breaks

You make that final call

Well, that's the breaks
