Lyrics: 

No matter how you fall 
it shouldn't bother you at all 
it could take more to overcome less in a day 
No matter how you break 
you shouldn't be the one to take 
your own opinions as they twist in their own way 
when all she wants is to be left 
off to the side and counted with the rest 
all she wants is to be spared 
from voting for a candidate who doesn't care 
Through many more have been provided 
when the only one decided 
is someone who's left to wait 
and any promise worth fufilling 
what when only one needs selling 
isn't one to leave till late 
No matter how it's read 
only so much can be said 
about subscribing to a point that has no ground 
no matter how it feels 
your speculation isn't real 
nothing can be guaged until it comes around 
when all she want's.............. 
and thought the end may seem divided 
every story is two sided 
but it's only yours you'll know 
and truth be told if you are willing 
then that promises fufilling 
is what only time could show
