It Ain't Like That (live) (video) - Nickelback

There I was, laid out on a table

Screamin' sweat and bare feet to the floor

In my life, I'd not soften

Things that cut, and burn so often

But I sit, think of somethin'

Scared to face, the dyin' nothin'

See the cycle I've waited for

It ain't like that anymore

Where I go is when I feel I'm able

How I fight is why I'm feelin' sore

In my sight, not forgotten

Feel as though, a tooth were rotten

Behind the smile, a tongue that's slippin'

Buzzards cry, when flesh is rippin'

See the cycle I've waited for

It ain't like that anymore

Here I sit writing on the paper

Trying to make the words you can't ignore

In my mind, what I'm lacking

Score at face, a ten for slacking

Sign the deal, set in motion

Smaller fish, so huge the ocean

See the cycle I've waited for

It ain't like that anymore
