You will never be alright
And I will never be okay
And I can't be your Jesus Christ
'Cause I am but a mortal man
Just looking for the promised land
And it kills me slowly
(You never know what you got 'til it's gone forever)
My one and only
(It's time to say goodbye)
When life gets hard I send a prayer
For this cross I have to bear
And this smile I'm forced to wear
And I'm no good, no good, can't you tell
And if you could cast a spell
Would it be to watch me fail
Well I prevail
(I prevail)
You will never see the light
Heaven will not know your name
And my only real advice
Is the only thing that you ignore
Is exactly what you're looking for
So listen closely
(You never know what you got 'til it's gone forever)
My one and only
(It's time to say goodbye)
When life gets hard I send a prayer
For this cross I have to bear
And this smile I'm forced to wear
And I'm no good, no good, can't you tell
And if you could cast a spell
Would it be to watch me fail
Woah, when life gets hard I send a prayer
For this cross I have to bear
And this smile I'm forced to wear
And I'm no good, no good can't you tell
And if I could cast a spell
I would send you straight to hell
And if you could cast a spell
Would it be to watch me fail
Well I prevail
(Well I prevail)
