lyrics
(verse 1)
sometimes I stop and think
maybe it wasn't meant to be like this
somewhere we lost our way
and now we're just trying to clean our mess
and someday we'll change
for peace and love and unity we'll pray
but it all seems strange
and I just can't help but think
(pre-chorus)
it's a losing game we're playing
and we're running 'round in circles, baby
and we keep chasing yesterday
wondering if it's ever gonna be the same
(chorus)
it's a cryin' shame...
it's a cryin' shame...
it's a cryin' shame...
it's a cryin' shame...
(verse 2)
sometimes i stop and think
maybe it's always going to be like this
'cause if we walked away
than is it possible to live like this
we can pray for change
but it won't get better til it gets worse
or so they all say
so I just can't help but think
(bridge)
and it's a cycle we're living in
keep on trying, keep on giving in
and I don't know what to do but leave it up to you
cause I know it ain't through and
I try and listen, won't you tell me
keep on missing, won't you help me
cause I don't wanna be the same
I just shake my head and keep on saying
sometimes I stop and think
maybe it wasn't meant to be like this
somewhere we lost our way
and now we're just trying to clean our mess
and someday we'll change
for peace and love and unity we'll pray
but it all seems strange
and I just can't help but think
(pre-chorus)
it's a losing game we're playing
and we're running 'round in circles, baby
and we keep chasing yesterday
wondering if it's ever gonna be the same
(chorus)
it's a cryin' shame...
it's a cryin' shame...
it's a cryin' shame...
it's a cryin' shame...
(verse 2)
sometimes i stop and think
maybe it's always going to be like this
'cause if we walked away
than is it possible to live like this
we can pray for change
but it won't get better til it gets worse
or so they all say
so I just can't help but think
(bridge)
and it's a cycle we're living in
keep on trying, keep on giving in
and I don't know what to do but leave it up to you
cause I know it ain't through and
I try and listen, won't you tell me
keep on missing, won't you help me
cause I don't wanna be the same
I just shake my head and keep on saying
