Thirty heartbeats from the rain You're a poet with a stranger's name 'Cause you woke up with a shattered heart And the pieces are hard to find
In this wasted town Where they've broken you down And poisoned you with words Under painted lies That you've memorized It's a story that no one's heard
[chorus] What's wrong with the world we live in Where the good and bad collide When did you stop believing in a better life How many dreams unanswered Before we get it right What if it's all forgiven When you reach the other side
A traveler on these streets of gold You never meant to sell your soul But you find yourself rearranged Like a prophet going blind
Tired of saving yourself When there's no one to help And you're fighting with both hands tied And you're ready to go In your hear 'cause you know No one cares if you live or die
[chorus] What's wrong with the world we live in Where the good and bad collide When did you stop believing in a better life How many dreams unanswered Before we get it right What if it's all forgiven When you reach the other side
[bridge] You can swallow your pride but the river is wide It returns you to where you've been Back to sand on the shore Back to Heaven and war You're searching for where to begin
[break down] What's wrong with this world we live in Why am I here inside When did you stop believing
[chorus] What's wrong with the world we live in Where the good and bad collide When did you stop believing in a better life How many dreams unanswered Before we get it right What if it's all forgiven When you reach the other side
