The World You Make

[Verse 1]
Yesterday's a paper cup
Never seems to hold enough to quench your thirst
Oh, and time's a faded wedding dress
A bottle and some cigarettes can't kill the hurt

[Verse 2]
She came along and sparked a flame
And now you need someone to blame for all your sins
Oh, and sorry's just a waste of time
You're only sad you got caught lyin' 'bout where you've been

[Chorus]
That you're gonna live in the world you make
You're gonna count every breath you take
You're gonna wish you could undo every mistake
Oh, and you're gonna live in the world you make

[Verse 3]
Loneliness is not a sin
And love can turn the best of friends to enemies
Oh, you wind up in some hotel bar
Peddling a broken heart for company

[Chorus]
You're gonna live in the world you make
You're gonna count every breath you take
You're gonna find yourself a hundred ways to dull the ache
Oh, but you're gonna live in the world you make

[Post-Chorus]
Whoa, oh-oh
Whoa, oh-oh

[Verse 4]
And love is just a plastic ring
Dangling from a broken string in a bedroom drawer
You swore an angel could set you free
And if that angel was ever me, not anymore

[Chorus]
'Cause you're gonna live in the world you make
You're gonna count every breath you take
You're gonna realize someday it's not too late
Oh, but you're gonna live in the world you make
Oh, but you're gonna live in the world you make
