Fortune Cookie Lyrics

I've spent a fortune on excuses
And it could have just been me

[Definite]

But now I see that happiness
Won't seem real unless it's free

[Infinite]

I have walked a million miles
And to this day I roam

[Wander]

So I'll continue on forever
Until I find a home

[Ponder]

Now I see the lonely ocean
Rising to greet the stars

[Outcry]

This piece of paper simply states
You learn from all your scars
[Goodbye]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
