Ain't the Life I Asked for - Mike Tramp

When you open your eyes and there’s nothing but black

And you try hard to count all the knives in your back

In the bed you lay in you’ve fallen apart

And all of your sorrow now live in your heart

Just a young man I stood with a ticket in hand

My mom signed the papers said you pay back the bank

With a smile on my face and my dreams in my sight

Left all that I had for a rock’n’roll life

Could have been better

Should have been better

This ain’t the life that I asked for I know

But it is all that I got

This ain’t the life the life I wanted to live

Now it is what I’ve become

Accusations for breakfast too much on my plate

Two little children caught between love and hate

Religious obsession but you sin more and more

Grab what I can now and head for the door

Could have been better

Should have been better

This ain’t the life that I asked for I know

But it is all that I got

This ain’t the life the life I wanted to live

Now it is what I’ve become

When your life falls apart at the end

when your life falls apart at the end

when your life falls apart at the end

There’s nothing, nothing at all
