Ben Folds Five – Learn To Live With What You Are lyrics

I know that you're in there
I can see you
You're saying you're okay
I don't believe you

And now that the gig is up
The spell is broken
The fat lady's sung
The president has spoken
These days that you were
Waiting for will come and go
Like any day

Just another day

There's never gonna be
A moment of truth for you
While the world is watching
All you need is
The thing you've forgotten
And that's to learn to live
With what you are

So freak out if you wanna
And I'll still be here
Don't call me for years
And when you do, yeah,
I'll still be here

I'm not saying the effort
Is a waste of time
But I just love you for
The things you couldn't change
Though you have tried
These hours of confusion
They will soon expire
Like everything does

There's never gonna be
A moment of truth for you
While the world is watching
All you need is
The thing you've forgotten
And that's to learn to live
With what you are

Sometimes everything you've ever wanted
Floats above sticking out its tongue
And laughing while
Everything that anyone could ever need
Is down below waiting for you

Know this

There's never gonna be
A moment of truth for you
While the world is watching
'Cause all you need is
The thing you've forgotten
And that's to learn to live
With what you are

You've got to learn to live
With what you are

You've got to learn to live
With what you are
