Sam Roberts - This Wreck Of A Life lyrics

Album: We Were Born In A Flame (2003)

You know that bad luck will eat you up
When´s it going to 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 would never lean on anyone else
Oh, but I was wrong
Yea I was wrong
And my mother took me by the hands & then
Oh, oh how I prayed
That the good Lord would come & take me away
From this mess of a life that I am in
And I fell to my knees oh & I cried
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
In this wreck of a life that I am in
In this mess of a life that I am in

C´mon 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 is going to get better

And I am so sick & tired of lying around
We are all waiting for someone to light up this town
Oh, it wouldn´t be long
It wouldn´t be long
And I know I should´ve left town but I stayed

Oh how I prayed
That the good Lord would come & take me away
From this mess of a life that I am in
And I fell to my knees oh & I cried
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
In this wreck of a life that I am in
In this mess of a life that I am in

Oh & it feels like I am writing a book & I cannot get inspired
Sometimes
It seems that I am breathing in smoke & my lungs are so tired
Oh well
I will just sleep it all off & then hope that it don´t get me fired
And I am asking you please

Oh oh how I prayed
That the good Lord would come & take me away
From this mess of a life that I am in
And I fell to my knees oh & I cried
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky
In this wreck of a life that I am in
And oh how I prayed
That the good Lord would come & take me away
From this mess of a life that I am in
And I fell to my knees oh & I cried
As the lightning rose up from the earth to the sky

In this wreck of a life that I am in
In this mess of a life that I am in
In this wreck of a life that I am in
In this wreck of a life that I am in
In this mess of a life that I am in
In this mess of a life that I am in…
