So the story now draws quickly to an end And you've got just what you want, my friend It didn't take so long. And the money, was it really all worthwhile Can it ever buy a smile for you Or put right what was wrong? And do you think Now that you have made the grade Losing all the friends you made Everyone will think a whole lot more of you? It's all over It was over long ago But you didn't seem to know, my friend And so I stuck around But was I dreaming? Was I really so naive That I let you walk all over me
And never made a sound? And do your eyes Still see what they used to see When you try and picture me Thanking you for everything you've done to me? Or can they see Why I had to get away, Had to find a better way, Had to get a long, long way away from you? And do your eyes Still see what they used to see When you try and picture me Thanking you for everything you've done to me? Or can they see Why I had to get away, Had to find a better way, Had to be a long, long way away from you?
