Thirty heartbeats from the rain
You're a poet with a stranger's name
'Cause you woke up with a shattered heart
And the pieces are hard to find

In this wasted town
Where they've broken you down
And poisoned you with words
Under painted lies
That you've memorized
It's a story that no one's heard

What's wrong with this world we live in
Where the good and bad collide?
And when did you stop believing
In a better life?

And how many dreams unanswered
Before we get it right?
And what if it's all forgiven
When you reach the otherside?

A traveler on these streets of gold
You never meant to sell your soul
But you find yourself rearranged
Like a prophet going blind

Tired of saving yourself
When there's no one to help
And you're fighting with both hands tied
And you're ready to go
In your heart 'cause you know
No one cares if you live or die

What's wrong with this world we live in
Where the good and bad collide?
When did you stop believing
In a better life?

And how many dreams unanswered
Before we get it right?
And what if it's all forgiven

You could swallow your pride
But the river is wide
It returns you to where you have been
Back to sand on the shore
Back to Heaven and war
You're searching for where to begin

What's wrong with this world we live in?
And when did you stop believing?

What's wrong with this world we live in
Where the good and bad collide?
When did you stop believing
In a better life?

And how many dreams unanswered
Before we get this right?
Baby, it's all forgiven
When you reach the otherside
