We're not long for this world We're not long for this world And the way I can tell is I know you too well We're not long for this world I know the words that you say and the words that you mean And I remember the days when you meant everything We're not long for this world We're not long for this world And the way I can tell is I know you too well We're not long for this world You hold me close in your arms and I feel the cold Oh but you never meant any harm by the lies that you told We're not long for this world We're not long for this world And the way I can tell is I know you too well We're not long for this world
