Catch a Break

Why can't I catch a break
When everything's going my way
I trip and fall flat on my face
Same tragedy, different day

My luck's a rain cloud, follows me around
Soon as I'm up, pour misery down
Where is my coat?
Didn't know that I would need it
Foiled my plans, well, I'll be damned
You pulled out the rug
So where do I stand, losing control
Touch and go, feeling so cheated

Why can't I catch a break
When everything's going my way
I trip and fall flat on my face
Same tragedy, different day
Why can't I catch a break
When everything's going my way
I trip and fall flat on my face
Oh, but I know, I'll be okay

Soon as it's good, soon as it's fine
I get blindsided every time
Down on myself
But I won't sit here defeated
Testing me, hard to breathe
Where did I go wrong?
Climbing through hell

Why can't I catch a break
When everything's going my way
I trip and fall flat on my face
Same tragedy, different day
Why can't I catch a break
When everything's going my way
I trip and fall flat on my face
Oh, but I know, I'll be okay

Put it in my hands
Watch it slip away

Why can't I catch a break
When everything's going my way
I trip and fall flat on my face
Same tragedy, different day
Why can't I catch a break
When everything's going my way
I trip and fall flat on my face
Oh, but I know, I'll be okay
