Reception Fades

You talk about the way things were But I can't hear what you're saying A time when life was not this hard Blessed by the innocence And is the best yet to come? Or did it pa*s by long ago? Are we holding on to a thread Of something already dead? I'm not your reason to stand up straight Shoulders back chest out and eyes raised Stepping back, I hesitate I can't have myself be taken Is the best yet to come? Or did it pa*s by long ago? Are we holding on to a thread Of something already dead? You can't change your mind, expect me to care You can't just snap your fingers and expect me to be there Can't change your mind, expect me to care Can't just snap your fingers and expect me to be there Can't just change your mind The reception fades the signals breaking up And am I moving on or am I giving up? If you walk away from this with anything Live your life today
