Luck lyrics

How can we make amends when we said all we said?

I call and you don't pick up

How can I say instead that I hope it's for the best?

I won't, and I won't give up

I'm sorry, Mother

I know I let you down

I'm sorry for how I up and left this town

How can we push aside all the bad and make it right

Now you got me all choked up

I'm sorry, brother

I know I let you down

I'm sorry for how I up and left this town

Please just listen cause I don't ask for much

I am my own man

I make my own luck

How can we both pick sides when we know nothing's right?

Open up the door that's shut

How can I have my pride and drink away my soul tonight?

Sorrow's filling up my cup

I'm sorry, Father

I know I let you down

I'm sorry for how I up and left this town

Please just listen cause I don't ask for much

I am my own man

I make my own luck

Well some birds aren't meant to be caged

And I just can't see the light of day

Please forgive me

I can't remember

Please forgive me

no one is calling

Please forgive me

I can't believe it

No...

Gonna pick myself up, so I don't let this ever grow

Even if I mess up, I won't let this ever go

It's hard to stay

It's hard to stay

Cause some birds aren't meant to be caged

How can I set us free?

I'm what you taught me to be

Shouldn't that be enough?

It's time that we make amends

Let's forget the things we said

You know we were all just talk

I'm sorry, Mother

I know I let you down

I'm sorry, Father

I didn't stick around

Please just listen cause I don't ask for much

I am my own man

I make my own luck

Please just listen cause I don't ask for much

Just like my old man, I make my own luck

And some birds are meant to be caged

And some just won't see the light of day

Please forgive me

I can't remember

Please forgive me

No one is coming

Please forgive me

I can't believe it

No...

Gonna pick myself up, so I don't let this ever grow

Even if I mess up, I won't let this ever go

It's hard to stay

It's hard to stay

Cause some birds aren't meant to be caged

Please just listen cause I don't ask for much

I am my own man

I make my own luck

Please just listen cause I don't ask for much

I am my own man

I make my own luck
