The Way That We Have Been

Why have we been so reckless? Acting like we don't know right from wrong And it's not like we didn't expect it When we've really known all along It could only be so long until we really felt it We've been digging our way down instead of digging our way out We can't keep living the way that we have been It'll catch up to us and destroy everything else as well I know we were never perfect But it was more than worth it And we don't deserve it The strain that we give with the way that we live It's taken too long for this realization But I'm hoping we will have so many more I never want to stop trying to make things better No matter how good I think they are Why have we been so complacent? Accepting everything as good enough With all the effort we never put in Convenience was the priority to us Taking the first step is the hardest part After we've been digging our way down Instead of digging our way out We can't keep living the way that we have been It'll catch up to us and destroy everything else as well I know we were never perfect But it was more than worth it And we don't deserve it The strain that we give with the way that we live It's taken too long for this realization We're all sorry for the lost time But will we take a step in a new direction? (A new direction) I don't want to waste any more time But I can't do this without you Will you take my hand? (Will you take my hand?) We can't keep living the way that we have been It'll catch up to us and destroy everything else as well We can't keep living the way that we have been (That we have been) It'll catch up to us and destroy everything else as well I know we were never perfect But it was more than worth it And we don't deserve it The strain that give with the way that we live
