How have I come to this

How did I slip and fall

How did I throw half a lifetime away

Without any thought at all



This should've been my time

It's over, it never began

Facing a world, for once not on my side

I simply turned and ran





I try to blame it on fortune

Some kind of twist in my fate

But I know the truth and it haunts me

I learned it a little too late





I know the truth and it mocks me

I know the truth and it shocks me

I learned it a little too late





People have faith in me

I think I once did too

I promise whoever has a hold on our lives

I'll see the bad times through





This should have been my time

It's over, it never began

Facing a world, for once not on my side

I simply turned and ran





I try to blame it on fortune

Some kind of shift in the stars

But I know the truth and it haunts me

It's flown just a little too far





I know the truth and it mocks me

I know the truth and it shocks me

It's flown just a little too far





I try to blame it on fortune

Some kind of twist in my fate

But I know the truth and it haunts me

I learned it a little too late
