MY LIFE DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY

So many kinds of problems
I know them all by heart
I've been through every one
I think I'm falling apart
I have so many questions
and I have so many doubts
I've never gotten answers
I've taken all wrong routes
I wish that I could say
that everything's okay
but my life doesn't work that way

I've had it up to here
and also over there
it's always interluding
it comes from everywhere
I've given up on love
and I've stopped counting tears
'cause I can't count that high
my minds been gone for years
and I wish that I could say 
that everything's okay
but my life doesn't work that way

If I was stranded on a deserted island
at least I'd be alone
no extra troubles I've got now
at last I'd have a peaceful home
where I could live and worry not
and never have to wish for time
or dream about a life of ease
cause everything would just be mine
and I wish that I could say 
that it is my home away from home
but my life doesn't work that way

I don't know what to do
I feel like I'm a joke
I can't get any pleasure 
when I am always broke
My name is just a label
and no one calls it out
except people wanting money
is that what life's about?
I wish that I could say 
that everything's okay
but my life doesn't work that way
