Failure Lyrics by Sevendust

Next

2006

[Verse 1: Lajon Witherspoon & Morgan Rose]
Focus on a new way
A new day has begun for me
I thought that yesterday was a bad day
So I took my time to figure it out
What's the right way to live by me?
So I'll find a reason why

[Chorus: Lajon Witherspoon, John Connolly, both]
All my life, I've been waitin' for a chance like this
(I've seen horizons fall before me)
All my life, I've been wishin' for your promises
(I always thought I'd be a failure)
All my life, all my life, I've been here

[Post-Chorus: Lajon Witherspoon]
I've been here

[Verse 2: Lajon Witherspoon, with John Connolly Morgan Rose]
Sorrow was the old way
I won't subdue the truth
From regrets and failure, I arise
To redefine all they expected of me
In the meantime, I hope you'll see
You never stood by me
And now you know the reason

[Chorus: Lajon Witherspoon, John Connolly, both]
All my life, I've been waitin' for a chance like this
(I've seen horizons fall before me)
All my life, I've been wishin' for your promises
(I always thought I'd be a failure)
All my life, all my life, I've been here

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Lajon Witherspoon, John Connolly, both]
All my life, I've been waitin' for a chance like this
(I've seen horizons fall before me)
All my life, I've been wishin' for your promises
(I always thought I'd be a failure)
All my life, all my life, I've been here

[Outro: Lajon Witherspoon]
I've been here
I've been here
