Below, you will find the lyrics for Luck by American Authors.
How can we make amends when we said all we said?
I call and you don't pick up
How can I say instead that I hope it's for the best?
I won't, and I won't give up
I'm sorry mother
I know I let you down
I'm sorry for how I up and left this town
How can we push aside all the bad and make it right
Now you got me all choked up
Chorus 1
I'm sorry brother
I know I let you down
I'm sorry for how I up and left this town
Please just listen 'cause I don't ask for much
I am my own man, I make my own luck
Verse 1
How can we both pick sides when we know nothing's right?
Open up the door that's shut
How can I have my pride and drink away my soul tonight?
Sorrow's filling up my cup
I know I let you down
I'm sorry for how I up and left this town
Please just listen 'cause I don't ask for much
I am my own man, I make my own luck
Well some birds aren't meant to be caged
And I just can't see the light of day
Please forgive me I can't remember
Please forgive me, no one is calling
Please forgive me, I can't believe it
Chorus 2
Gonna pick myself up, so I don't let this ever grow
Even if I mess up, I won't let this ever go
It's hard to stay
Chorus 2
'Cause some birds aren't meant to be caged
Verse 2
How can I set us free?
I'm what you taught me to be
Shouldn't that be enough?
It's time that we make amends
Let's forget the things we said
You know we were all just stuck
I know I let you down
I'm sorry father
I didn't stick around
Please just listen 'cause I don't ask for much
I am my own man, I make my own luck
Please just listen 'cause I don't ask for much
Chorus 3
Just like my old man, I make my own luck
Chorus 4
And some birds aren't meant to be caged
And some just won't see the light of day
Please forgive me I can't remember
Please forgive me, no one is calling
Please forgive me, I can't believe it
Chorus 4
Gonna pick myself up, so I don't let this ever grow
Even if I mess up, I won't let this ever go
It's hard to stay
Chorus 4
'Cause some birds aren't meant to be caged
Outro
Please just listen 'cause I don't ask for much
