I don't usually take chances
Most would easily agree
Something in your eyes
Is saying you can ease my heartache
I have a burden in sight

And I know you're just a stranger
If you cannot understand
There's too many times
I've lost my chance to talk with an angel
Too many to count

And life's so hard, it's the little things
That seem to be getting me today, yeah
Life's so hard but I'm doing
What I can to not to be getting down
I'm going down in flames
Going down in flames

I would tell you I am happy
If I wasn't so damn sad
And the loneliness both overwhelms
And keeps me empty, that's how it's been for a while

And life's so hard, it's the little things
That seem to be getting me today, yeah
Life's so hard but I'm doing
What I can to not to be getting down
I'm going down in flames
Going down in flames

I need some direction
I need someone to listen
Someone to tell me that they know

That life's so hard, it's the little things
That seem to be saving me today, yeah
Life's so hard and I'm doing what I can
Oh, yeah, I'm doing what I can

Hey, I'm doing what I can
Going down in flames
Going down in flames
