The Bottom Line

Don't know
if it's right
but I'm tired of being wrong.
I couldn't sleep tonight
thought I'd write a song.
I think about the highway
I think about home.
Do I need somebody?
Am I better off alone?
Chorus:
Guess it all comes down to the bottom line
How I live my life.
And I deal with things that bind me....
So I gotta decide how it needs to be
and put these things that are killin' me
behind me...
I think
about tomorrow
but I'm living for today.
I've seen my share of sorrow,
wanna make it go away.
Been too many heartaches
I was blinded by my pride.
Had enough of losin'
gotta see the other side.
Chorus:
'cause it all comes down to the bottom line
How I live my life.
And I deal with things that bind me....
So I gotta decide how it needs to be
and put these things that are killin' me
behind me...
Bridge:
But it feels like I'm the last in line to see
what things I do have been doing back to me.
Like a moth drawn slowly to the candle's flame -
I can know, But I don't know if I can change....
I wonder
about the future
as I think about the past.
I've been beaten by the hard time,
this has gotta be the last.
I'm getting tired of runnin'
But I'm sick of standing still.
Better find me somethin'
that'll help a soul to heal.
Chorus:
'Cause it still comes down to the bottom line
How I live my life
And I deal with the things that bind me...
So I gotta decide how it needs to be
And put these things that are killin' me
Behind me...
Yeah, it all comes down to the bottom line
How I live my life.
And I deal with things that bind me....
So I better decide how it needs to be
And put these things that are killin' me
Behind me...
Outro:
Don't know if it's right-
But I'm tired of being wrong........
