Learn To Live With What You Are Lyrics - Ben Folds Five

I know that you're in there 

I can see you 

You're saying you're okay 

I don't believe you 

And now that the gig is up 

The spell is broken 

The fat lady's sung 

The president has spoken 

These days that you were 

Waiting for will come and go 

Like any day 

Just another day 

There's never gonna be 

A moment of truth for you 

While the world is watching 

All you need is 

The thing you've forgotten 

And that's to learn to live 

With what you are 

So freak out if you wanna 

And I'll still be here 

Don't call me for years 

And when you do, yeah, 

I'll still be here 

I'm not saying the effort 

Is a waste of time 

But I just love you for 

The things you couldn't change 

Though you have tried 

These hours of confusion 

They will soon expire 

Like everything does 

There's never gonna be 

A moment of truth for you 

While the world is watching 

All you need is 

The thing you've forgotten 

And that's to learn to live 

With what you are 

Sometimes everything you've ever wanted 

Floats above sticking out its tongue 

And laughing while 

Everything that anyone could ever need 

Is down below waiting for you 

Know this 

There's never gonna be 

A moment of truth for you 

While the world is watching 

'Cause all you need is 

The thing you've forgotten 

And that's to learn to live 

With what you are 

You've got to learn to live 

With what you are 

You've got to learn to live 

With what you are
