When I See Pigs Fly

Verse 1 Trying to get to sleep You're solving a mystery The answers are far away And they'll never see the light of day Pre-Chorus And the voice is getting loud Self-pity and doubt And part of you is proud But you won't get over But you try, but you try, but you try Chorus Like something from an old Greek tragedy Can't conceive of anything that ain't Hollywood One doesn't have a happy ending But either way you got to play your part Post-Chorus But either way you got to play your part Verse 2 So long as the sun exists To cast shadows on ourselves The shadow has all to tell For which we have such a bitter need Pre-Chorus To look at every turn We're never gonna learn It's always gonna hurt And we won't get over But we try, but we try, but we try Chorus Like something from an old Greek tragedy Can't conceive of anything that ain't Hollywood One doesn't have a happy ending But either way you got to play your part Hook And try, I'm an optimist when I see pigs fly And try, but either way you got to play your part Verse 3 Always to run away You call it a holiday You see your surroundings change But then you feel such a bitter need Pre-Chorus To look at your own worth Can't blame it on the world And no one but yourself And you won't get over But you try, but you try, but you try Bridge Stop taking it out on all those around You're letting it roll straight back down You're trying to push that rock back up the hill Chorus Like something from an old Greek tragedy Can't conceive of anything that ain't Hollywood One doesn't have a happy ending But either way you got to play your part Hook And try, I'm an optimist when I see pigs fly And try, but either way you got to play your part And try, I'm an optimist when I see pigs fly And try, but either way you got to play your part Outro But either way you got to play your part But either way you got to play your part
