Lyrics Dearly Departed - Lukas Rossi

Sometimes life gets tough you want more it's never enough
But you get down on your knees and pray
All my life I have had a little bit of good but mostly bad
But that's life
That's life
That's life
Cause what goes up comes down
You gotta keep your feet on the ground
On the ground

Yeah I wish I could express my feelings
I just don't want to be that guy who says shit without any meaning
Yeah we all got our demons
And this is my story, I'll tell you how I'm still breathing
I wanted to find someone who'd give me laughter
Even if I failed at everything I went after

You can't always get what you want
Maybe I'll just hold on for dear life
Dearly departed maybe I'm just crazy
It's all up to you
It's all up to you
It's only you
It's only you
You gotta keep your feet on the ground
On the ground

Yeah growing up I didn't have too many friends
I was a little overweight yeah that depends
Are you popular or are they mocking ya
That'll hit you upside your head
Then you'll be fighting after school
Even if you didn't do shit
Push you into lockers
Yeah there's too many talkers that used to bully me
And they really haven't done anything
With their lives but now they look to me
Fuck all those teachers that said I wouldn't amount to anything
Now look at me the rest is history
Gotta get it off my chest, yeah this is my test, my testimony

Writing in my journal that I kept in my head
My father was always too drunk to ever hear a word I said
But that's OK because I would say it, I would say it anyway
Maybe he'll remember when he's looking at the stars
Maybe he'll remember when he's face down at the bar
Vodka on the rocks,
Taking down a shot, getting pulled over by the cops

But you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want

I remember the day that woke up and
Thought that I'd give it another try
Another try from the start
Yeah it's real hard gotta have the heart
Better take the high road
Gotta have that fire like a pyro

We're the dearly departed
Don't live life like a funeral
Oh we're the dearly departed
Don't live life like a funeral
Oh my dearly departed
You gotta keep your feet on the ground
On the ground
Oh we're the dearly departed
Don't live life like a funeral
On my dearly departed
Don't live your life like a funeral
