How long can this go on? The end is near the money's gone Now is this my final act? Face the crowd there is no going back As I sit my lies confess Please don't think of me any less Who'd have thought this price I'd have to pay Am I your friend, please let me stay Don't turn away You'd better go home Don't turn away You'd better go home now It wasn't ever meant to end this way Those words I fear to hear you say But the curtain falls To have it taken from me Memories of the past No rhyme or reason to me Lives they change so fast One heart, one life One goal to live the dream Hate and anger they both return Memories of the past Go back Shine that light in your heart Some day To start again on the dark side Memories of the past The drink and the d**, no place to hide Lives they change so fast One heart, one life One goal to live the dream Hate and anger they both return Memories of the past Go back Shine that light in your heart Some day So sad Never gonna have time for the healing Leading me back, back to you So sad Never understand what I'm feeling Leading me back, back to you So sad Never gonna shape the past unbelieving Leading me back, back to you
