This is getting old And so are you Everything you know And never knew Will run through your fingers Just like sand Enjoy it while you can Like a snake between two stones It itches in your bones Take a deep breath and swallow Your sorrow Tomorrow So raise it up and lets propose a toast To the thing that hurts you most It's your last cup of sorrow What can you say? Finish it today It's your last cup of sorrow So think of me And get on your way It won't begin Until you make it end Until you know the how the where and the when With a new face you might surprise yourself Like a snake between two stones It itches in your bones Take a deep breath and swallow Your sorrow Tomorrow So raise it up and lets propose a toast To the thing that hurts you most It's your last cup of sorrow What can you say? Finish it today It's your last cup of sorrow So think of me And get on your way! You might surprise yourself You might surprise yourself You might surprise yourself You might surprise yourself You might surprise yourself You might surprise yourself You might surprise yourself You might surprise yourself You might surprise yourself You might surprise yourself You might surprise yourself
