    if I messed up any of the lyrics then comment down below and tell me :)
    LYRICS:
    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 open 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 open left this town.
    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 nothings right, open up the door that's shut.
    How can I have my pride, 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 open left this town.
    Please just listen, cause I don't ask for much. I am my own man I make my own luck.
    Well some birds are 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.
    Could have picked myself up so I don't let December go.
    Even if I mess up I won't let December go.
    It's hard to stay; it's hard to stay.
    Cause some birds are 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.
    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 own man I make my own luck.
    And some birds are meant to be caged.
    And some just won'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 December go.
    Even if I mess up I won't let December go.
    It's hard to stay; it's hard to stay.
    Cause some birds are 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.

    I was searching for this song for the past couple hours, looking through an entire playlist of Imagine Dragons for it, then I decided to look up the lyrics, and found it was American Authors who sang it. Mixed em up there, used to listen to both of em years ago. They are very similar in way, and I love both of em! ^~^

      Also, xXlyfesaverzXx, you made a mistake. At 2:34 you say "Please just listen, I don't ask for much. I am my own man, I make my own luck" But it's really "Please just listen, I don't ask for much. JUST LIKE MY OWN MAN, I make my own luck."

      +Jessica They copied the chord progression in "It's Time" (for "Best Day of My Life") and the lyrics and theme from "Amsterdam" (for "Luck"). Their new single, "Go Big or Go Home" is even a rework of a hidden track from _Night Visions_ called "Rocks". I still love them, though. They just seem to like and take inspiration from Imagine Dragons a lot.
