Lost Cause testo
Katchphraze
Testo
Through the smoke and the mist
Fake friends and worst fears
All the foul talkin' peers
And the shit it took to get you here
You're still standing
And on your own too, mind you
Every step of the way, I followed right behind you
Always there to talk to, lend a hand, relied on
And everytime you hurt, I gave you two shoulders to cry on
When times were hard and you got kicked to the streets
I gave you shelter, bed, clothes, and always food to eat
I knew what it was like to be alone, I been there too
When you wanna die, God's punishment was to spare you
It's like we're one and the same, and shared each other's pain
Like we're related by blood just with a different name
I never asked for compensation, forget it
It kinda hurt that you would think that I would just expect it and accept it
And so you know, that's not how it's supposed to be
Just promise me, if I need help you'd do the same for me
'cause that's what friends are for, and at the least I'm that to you
Don't let a snake with a smile on its face fool you
'cause shit gets better if you never think never
And just remember,
I'm down for whatever
So,
[Chorus]
When times are hard you need to stand up [stand up]
And never give in and throw your hands up [hands up]
Bad luck
It happens to the worst of us
And you can, bite the dust
Or turn to people you trust
When times are hard you need to stand up [stand up]
And never give in and throw your hands up [hands up]
Bad luck
It happens to the worst of us
And you can, bite the dust
Or turn to people you trust
It probably hurt me, more than it hurt you
To watch you fall apart inside and know there's nothing I can do
I tried to get you to talk, you just push me away
But when you came to talk to me, I never knew what to say
And it did, and it does break my heart everyday to know
There's nothing I could say to make you look the other day
And there were days when it would seem like life was lookin' up
But things were changin', one lousy day just ain't enough
I remember that night, I came home and found a note sayin'
You were gone for good and out to make it on your own
It's not the fact that you left, that went away with time
It's the fact that you left and didn't have the guts to say goodbye
But it's cool
I went on with my life and forgave you
Assumed that you were too far gone for me to save you
I didn't hate you, I didn't pay enough mind to it
You blew it
And I knew wherever you were
You knew it
And then one day I got a knock at the door
It was you, askin' me to take you back
What for?
How the fuck should I feel?
I'm tired of being lied to
So sick looking out that I could hardly recognize you
You changed so much and i'll never forget it
I've never seen you so scared, so sick and so pathetic
I let you in, how was I to know you'd want more?
Just as dumb as the idiot you took me for
[Chorus]
When times are hard you need to stand up [stand up]
And never give in and throw your hands up [hands up]
Bad luck
It happens to the worst of us
And you can, bite the dust
Or turn to people you trust
When times are hard you need to stand up [stand up]
And never give in and throw your hands up [hands up]
Bad luck
It happens to the worst of us
And you can, bite the dust
Or turn to people you trust
[Girl: Katchphrze, I'm sorry. I just didn't know what to say to you... and I couldn't take seeing your face once I told you
I was leaving. Please, you're my only friend left.]
I woke up early that morning, had a bad dream
I broke out in cold sweat like something's not the way it seems
And it wasn't
I noticed that some shit was missing
And I knew it
I can't believe i'd been so stupid
And this time, no letters saying, at the least, goodbye
No signs that you were leavin'
No attempts to apologize
You looked me in my eyes and straight lied to my face
You swore up and down that it was still there, just misplaced
And for the sake of argument, I walked away
You gave up on yourself, there was nothin' to say
And you could turn the damn tables so you're back with what you're started with
You callin' me the hypocrite?
Hun, that's ludicrous
I, bit my lip
I hope you bite the dust
'cause you had done enough talkin' for the both of us
Came and took all you can take
And in the end,
You weren't true to yourself
So nevermind your best friend
[Girl: I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, but-
Katchphraze: Yeah, that's true yo. And I understand where you comin' from but I uh, I uh gotta run, I got things to do and stuff.
But, all the best. See you 'round.]
The phone rang the next day, I figured it was you
So I let the machine get it, fell asleep for a few
Hours, got up around two
Checked the messsage, it's your sis
Seemed like, she was panicing
I called her right quick
She was cryin'
Cause you were dyin'
In her arms
Your last words were, \"have you no fear, i'm safe from harm\"
But I got there
Too little too late to save you
I didn't get the chance to say I forgave you
Maybe just that one more chance was all you needed
And it was right there and you just couldn't see it
Remember when I told you you should never give up?
Well I gave up on you, the worst thing I could do
And in the end, maybe you just needed me to listen
That's when I saw you had that jacket I was missin'
Fake friends and worst fears
All the foul talkin' peers
And the shit it took to get you here
You're still standing
And on your own too, mind you
Every step of the way, I followed right behind you
Always there to talk to, lend a hand, relied on
And everytime you hurt, I gave you two shoulders to cry on
