lyrics

Talk all you want
Anyone could
Sing with an attitude
That doesn't mean that you're good
Your life is a mess
And they're all to blame
You can tell em they're wrong all you want
But that won't make em change
But how many songs can you make in a day
I've got six days of summer
I won't waste them away

The pride that you have is a powerful foe
Somebody looked at you wrong and you can't let it go
Can't tell you to leave when it's justice you crave
You'll fight to the death and you'll take your pride straight to your grave
If you wanna save face then you'll drop it instead
Cause you ain't saving face if you get shot in the head

That's not even half of it
It's much bigger scale
Maybe I'm small and I'm weak
But I'll try and I'll fail to get through to you
It's all I can say
I've got six days of summer
I won't waste them away
Six days of summer
I won't waste them away

Can you look in the sky and still feel alone
Can you look inside of yourself and see nothing but bones
Can you make a new life and then throw it away
If you're wrong would you ask for forgiveness
And what would she say
Living's expensive, but life should be free
I know my rights and who gave them to me
I'm just trying to get through
That's all I can say
I've got six days of summer
I won't waste them away
