Play It By Ear - 30 Foot Fall

When what I'm building

For tomorrow comes crashing down today

And what I put my effort into

Falls apart anyway

When the seed I planted dies

And my roots have washed away

And I've got nothing to say

When there's nothing left for me

And everything is in my way

Will I be broken like a chain

With a weak link will I speak out

And let the people

Who hurt me know what I think

It's kinda hard to be what I wanna be

But I'm trying real hard cause I wanna believe

And I can't help it if you don't wanna understand

So I'll play it by ear and do the best I can

When everything that I've been taught

Has been proven wrong

And the debts that I've acquired have gone

Unpaid for way too long

When I cause painful division

Because of my stupid pride

When the love I give to someone gets taken

For granted and brushed aside

Will I be broken like a chain

With a weak link will I speak out

And let the people

Who hurt me know what I think

It's kinda hard to be what I wanna be

But I'm trying real hard cause I wanna believe

And I can't help it if you don't wanna understand

So I'll play it by ear and do the best I can

Will I be broken like a chain

With a weak link will I speak out

And let the people

Who hurt me know what I think

It's kinda hard to be what I wanna be

But I'm trying real hard cause I wanna believe

And I can't help it if you don't wanna understand

So I'll play it by ear and do the best I can
