Through the crystal ball I'm looking in
All I see is clouds keep rolling in
But I'm here for now
But I'm here for now
This jagged little pill I've swallowed in
But now my years are finally running thin
But I'm here for now
But I'm here for now
I cannot control
Which way the wind will blow
I cannot devise
The turning of the tides
I've been to hell and back again
I gave this life my everything
You can't have it all
You can't have it all right now
All I had you took away
But there's still what's left of me
You can't have it all
You can't have it all right now
But who knows what tomorrow just might bring
Just might bring (bring)
Your empty words and broken promises
Always make me pay the consequence
I'm still here for now
I'm still here for now
Slowly suffocating I have been
Searching for the light right to the end
I'm still here for now
I'm still here for now
I cannot control
Which way the wind will blow
I cannot devise
The turning of the tides
I've been to hell and back again
I gave this life my everything
You can't have it all
You can't have it all right now
All I had you took away
But there's still what's left of me
You can't have it all
You can't have it all right now
But who knows what tomorrow just might bring
There's no one who
Will ever understand
This life I'm living in
But they know I'll hold on
Breath this air into my lungs
So I can carry on
Now I know there's no one
Who can wash my world away
This is all I want to be
So I hope and hold on
Breath this air into my lungs
So I can carry on
'Cause I
I've been to hell and back again
I gave this life my everything
You can't have it all
You can't have it all right now
All I had you took away
But there's still what's left of me
You can't have it all
You can't have it all right now
But who knows what tomorrow just might bring
Who knows what tomorrow just might bring
