The Contingency Plan - Postcards From The Edge lyrics

You say there's a sadness in my eyes

Inevitable when surrounded by lies

Settle for second best without a fight

I'll be sold out when the price is right

When the stars are gone

You can carry on

Hold your head up high

And the clouds roll by

I don't care what you say

You never meant that much to me, anyway

Just keep living for myself

Cause you'll never know what I thought or how I felt

You say I'm selling myself short

Sharing my heart only as a last resort

"You'll never pull yourself through"

Isolation from all I knew

Where's your smile now?

You'll still wonder how

I held my head up high

When I passed you by

I'm not ending today

Did you think that I'd just lay down and die?

Did you think that you meant that much in my life?
