If only i was a carpenter
I'd build a roof above my walls
The storm within falls like teardrops
And a voice like thunder makes me fall

If only i could find a way
To live without my heart
Perhaps i could give it to someone else
And rip the chains apart

But you know what they say
You can't have your cake and eat it too
So I'll be starving from this disease
A dream i know could never be true

If only I was father time
Then maybe i coud stop the clocks
Id pull my spirit where it lingered
And say goodbye where i used to talk

But you know what they say
You can't have your cake and eat it too
So I'll be starving from this disease
A dream i know could never be true

This is goodbye baby
To everything ive known
Like a vagabond in your mind
I have no place to call my own

But you know what they say
You can't have your cake and eat it too
So I'll be starving from this disease
A dream i know could never be true
