Luck - 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

I’m sorry brother

I know I let you down

I’m sorry for how

I up and left this town

But please, just listen

'Cause I don’t ask for much

I am my own man

I make my own luck

How can we both take 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?

Sorrows filling up my cup

I’m sorry father

I know I let you down

I’m sorry for how

I up and left this town

But 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, no

Gonna pick myself up, so I don’t let this ember grow

Even if I mess up, I won’t let this ever go

It’s hard to stay, it’s hard to stay

'Cause some birds aren’t meant to be caged

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’m sorry mother

I know I let you down

I’m sorry father

I didn’t stick around

But 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

Just like my old man

I make my own luck

And some birds aren’t meant to be caged

And some 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, no

Gonna pick myself up, so I don’t let this ember grow

Even if I mess up, I won’t let this ever go

It’s hard to stay, it’s hard to stay

'Cause some birds aren’t meant to be caged

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

I am my own man

I make my own luck
