Lyrics
0:25I have kept this secret
0:27From myself for far too long
0:30The truth is I'm confused
0:33About where I belong
0:36I'm not a mother or a wife
0:39And I'm living such a complicated life
0:43And this is the life I know
0:51My life is full
0:53In some of the most important ways
0:57The entity in the core
1:00At the end of everyday
1:03I lock the door turn out the lights
1:06And I climb in bed
1:07And it's all alright
1:10Cuz this is the life I know
1:18I cut the grass
1:20Take out the trash
1:21And fill the gas
1:24In this house
1:26I am the mom and the dad
1:29What tomorrow brings
1:31I do not know
1:32Yes I know it's unconventional
1:36But It's the life I know
1:45We all have a secret pain
1:51We all have a tender place
1:57We were born to learn more
2:00And no I'm not meant to live alone
2:03And this is the life I know
2:09Yes this is the life I know
2:14All my friends
2:16Are having families of their own
2:20I'm still waiting for
2:23The perfect one to come
2:26Almost four decades in
2:28If I'm blessed then I've got five more to go
2:32And this is the Life I know
2:53Sometime it hurts like hell
2:55But I walk away with a song
2:57And a story to tell
2:59And this is the life I know
3:05Yes this is the life I know
3:11And this is the Life I know
I have kept this secret From myself for far too long The truth is I'm confused About where I belong I'm not a mother or a wife And I'm living such a complicated life And this is the life I know My life is full In some of the most important ways The entity in the core At the end of everyday I lock the door turn out the lights And I climb in bed And it's all alright Cuz this is the life I know I cut the grass Take out the trash And fill the gas In this house I am the mom and the dad What tomorrow brings I do not know Yes I know it's unconventional But It's the life I know We all have a secret pain We all have a tender place We were born to learn more And no I'm not meant to live alone And this is the life I know Yes this is the life I know All my friends Are having families of their own I'm still waiting for The perfect one to come Almost four decades in If I'm blessed then I've got five more to go And this is the Life I know Sometime it hurts like hell But I walk away with a song And a story to tell And this is the life I know Yes this is the life I know And this is the Life I know
