Longest Days Lyrics - Life, Death, Love And Freedo - John Mellencamp

It seems like once upon a time ago 

I was where I was supposed to be 

My vision was true and my heart was too 

There was no end to what I could dream 

I walked like a hero into the setting sun 

And everyone called out my name 

Death to me was just a mystery 

Cause I was too busy raisin up Abel and Cain 

But nothing lasts forever 

Your best efforts don't always pay 

Sometimes you get sick 

And you won't get better 

That's when life is short 

Even in its longest days

Songs That Will Make You Cry Uncontrollably 

Linkin Park Honors Chester Bennington In The Emotional Video For 'One More Light' 

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

So you pretend not to notice 

That everything has changed 

The way that you look 

And the friends you once had 

So you just keep on acting the same 

But deep down in your soul 

The fire has no flame 

And who knows then which way to go 

Life is short even in its longest days 

But nothing lasts forever 

Your best efforts don't always pay 

Sometimes you get sick 

And you won't get better 

That's when life is short 

Even in its longest days 

Photos 

All I got here 

Is the rear view mirror 

The reflections of where I've been 

So you tell yourself I'll be back up on top some day 

But you know there's nothing waiting up there for you anyway 

But nothing lasts forever 

Your best efforts don't always pay 

Sometimes you get sick 

And you won't get better 

That's when life is short 

Even in its longest days
