American Authors - Luck lyrics

rate me

How can we make amends when we said all we said?

I call and you don't pick up

How can I say instead that I hope it's for the best?

I won't and I won't give up

I'm sorry mother

I know I let you down

I'm sorry for how I up and left this town

How can we push aside all the bad and make it right?

Now you got me all choked up

I'm sorry brother

I know I let you down

I'm sorry for how I up and left this town

Please just listen ‘cause I don't ask for much

I am my own man

I make my own luck

How can we both pick sides when we know nothing's right?

Open up the door that's shut

How can I have my pride and drink away my soul tonight?

Sorrow's filling up my cup

I'm sorry father

I know I let you down

I'm sorry for how I up and left this town

Please just listen ‘cause I don't ask for much

I am my own man

I make my own luck

Well, some birds aren't meant to be caged

And I just can't see the light of day

Please forgive me

I can't remember

Please forgive me

No one is calling

Please forgive me

I can't believe it

No

Gonna pick myself up so I don't let this ever grow

Even if I mess up, I won't let this ever go

It's hard to stay, it's hard to stay

‘Cause some birds aren't meant to be caged

How can I set us free?

I'm what you taught me to be

Shouldn't that be enough?

It's time that we make amends

Let's forget the things we said

You know we were all just talk

I'm sorry mother

I know I let you down

I'm sorry father

I didn't stick around

Please just listen ‘cause I don't ask for much

I am my own man

I make my own luck

Please just listen ‘cause I don't ask for much

Just like my old man, I make my own luck

And some birds are meant to be caged

And some just won't see the light of day

Please forgive me

I can't remember

Please forgive me

No one is coming

Please forgive me

I can't believe it

No

Gonna pick myself up so I don't let this ever grow

Even if I mess up, I won't let this ever go

It's hard to stay, it's hard to stay

‘Cause some birds aren't meant to be caged

Please just listen ‘cause I don't ask for much

I am my own man

I make my own luck

Please just listen ‘cause I don't ask for much

I am my own man

I make my own luck
