This Wreck Of A Life Lyrics - We Were Born In A Flame - Sam Roberts

You know that bad luck will eat you up 

When's it gonna end? 

I twisted everything I could 

Out of words 

In real life my colours never blend 

When I was a boy I said to myself 

That I'd never lean on anyone else 

Oh, but I was wrong 

Yeah I was wrong 

And my mother took me by the hands and then 

Oh, oh how I prayed 

That the good Lord would come and take me away 

From this mess of a life that I'm in 

And I fell to my knees oh and I cried 

As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky 

In this wreck of a life that I'm in 

In this mess of a life that I'm in 

Come on you got a lot to give 

A lot to live for 

And hope it all gets better 

You twisted everything you can out of anything 

I know it's gonna get better 

And I'm so sick and tired of lying around 

We're all waiting for someone to light up this town 

Oh, it won't be long 

It won't be long 

And I know I should have left town but I stayed 

Oh how I prayed 

That the good Lord would come and take me away 

From this mess of a life that I'm in 

And I fell to my knees oh and I cried 

As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky 

In this wreck of a life that I'm in 

In this mess of a life that I'm in 

Oh and it feels like I'm writing a book and I can't get inspired 

Sometimes 

It seems that I'm breathing in smoke and my lungs are so tired 

Oh well 

I'll just sleep it all off and then hope that it don't get me fired 

And I'm asking you please 

Oh oh how I prayed 

That the good Lord would come and take me away 

From this mess of a life that I'm in 

And I fell to my knees oh and I cried 

As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky 

In this wreck of a life that I'm in 

And oh how I prayed 

That the good Lord would come and take me away 

From this mess of a life that I'm in 

And I fell to my knees oh and I cried 

As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky 

In this wreck of a life that I'm in 

In this mess of a life that I'm in 

In this wreck of a life that I'm in 

In this wreck of a life that I'm in 

In this mess of a life that I'm in 

In this mess of a life that I'm in...
