it just passed me by

from bad luck i'm walkin away
i'm not gettin stuck
i'm not gonna stay
to good things i'm moving ahead
i'm tired of dyin
i'm livin instead

and once in a while
i'll wake up
wondering why we gave up
but once in a while
comes and it fades away

the sun's up
and lighting the sky
i never could see it
it just passed me by

good things keep movin along
i'm not lookin backward
for something thats gone

once in a while
i'll wake up
wonderin why we gave up
and once in a while
comes and fades away

i dont know what love is
i'm selfish and lazy
and when i get scared
i can act like i'm crazy

when i think of your kisses
i'm still gonna smile
i'm still gonna miss you
once in a while

once in a while i'll wake up
wonderin why we gave up
but once in a while comes
and fades away

good things keep moving ahead
i'm tired of dyin
i'm living instead
