You'll never have the time
If you don't own up to the minute
Or recognize a lie
If you first don't see the truth
You'll never swim in this life's sea
If you don't dive head first into it
And you'll never be happy
Trying to be someone other than you

You'll never cry tears of joy
Till you've lived through the pain
And hope you'll never ever find
If you first don't learn to loose
Or learn the wrong from the right
The way things have been lately
And how in no time the new
Turns out to be the used

Things will never add up
If love's not in the equation
To tell you the truth
A point too often moot
You can tell that you still have a heart
If you can feel it aching
And you'll never really be happy
Trying to be someone other than you
