Like one of those fireflies
Oh it looks so good 'til it's in your hand
It's like one of those memories
Where you can't let go but you just can't stand
It's like one of those crazy dreams
And the permanent screens in the magazines
Saying why'd I love
All it does is break your heart

One morning does it all add up
Or am I just standing on the edge of crazy
You're getting close to giving up
In a big old way, knocks you down into the
Other side every time
Love or lie, live or die
I, well I guess that's life

Like one of those people
With the beautiful eyes and the perfect face
It's like one of those stories
Where the hero dies in the very last race
Like one of those endless cries
And the crazy lies of a hurting child
Why did love have to hurt
It broke my heart

One morning does it all add up
Or am I just standing on the edge of crazy
You're getting close to giving up
In a big old way, knocks you down into the
Darker side every time
Love or lie, live or die
I, well I guess that's life

I always liked to think
That I was always brave enough
To try to master any push and shove
Well I guess I never qualified love

One morning does it all add up
Or am I just standing on the edge of crazy
You're getting close to giving up
In a big old way, knocks you down into the
Other side every time
Love or lie, live or die
I, well I guess that's life
