Not The Way You Wanted 歌詞

Remember to be gentle, be selfless Give more than you take 'Cause I promise all the grief you give will follow to your grave I wanna love so large it keeps the pain at bay Your actions have outcomes, both consequence and gift Be the first to say you're sorry and the first one to forgive I wanna be so kind, it kills the times we've missed Lord give me the strength Lord give me the strength 'Cause our days are getting shorter As we'd rather sleep than see Give me the strength 'Member that your life is not hopeless despite the way you feel For every broken promise, there's a thousand to fulfill Although it hurts like hell to wait, I know you will Lord give me the strength Lord give me the strength And our days are getting shorter As we'd rather sleep than see Give me the strength The world's not out to get you like you think it is And everything that's gone comes back again Even if it's not the way you wanted it My friend, it's not your end, no, it's not your death There's beauty for the few who choose to stomach it And everything that's gone comes back again Even if it's not the way you wanted it Oh, strength Lord give me the strength 'Cause our days are getting shorter As we'd rather sleep than see Give me the strength
