[Verse]
When we were young the future was so bright (Woah-oh!)
The old neighborhood was so alive (Woah-oh!)
And every kid on the whole damn street (Woah-oh!)
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood s cracked and torn (Woah-oh!)
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn (Woah-oh!)
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives
[Chorus]
Chances thrown
Nothing s free
Longing for what used to be
Still it s hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
[Verse]
Jamie had a chance, well she really did (Woah-oh!
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids (Woah-oh!)
Mark still lives at home cause he s got no job
Just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
Jay committed suicide (Woah-oh!)
Brandon OD d and died (Woah-oh!)
What the hell is going on
cruelest dream, reality
[Chorus]
Chances thrown
Nothing s free
Longing for what used to be
Still it s hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
Chances thrown
Nothing s free
Longing for what used to be
Still it s hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
