Oh what a price we pay

For the things we say

And the closer I get to you

The further you move away

All the lies we tell

In the games we play

And the longer I think it over

The harder it is to stay



Sooner or later I'll be free

To leave the past behind

Sooner or later you're gonna be

The last thing on my mind

Little by little I'm finding out

The truth behind your eyes

Maybe if I don't show

I thought you might like to know

You're gonna be the last thing on my mind



You didn't want to know

I could have told you so

But the moment I think it's over

The further there is to go

Just a little word

Such an easy way

But the the longer I think about it

The harder it is to say



Sooner or later I'll be free

To leave the past behind

Sooner or later you're gonna be

The last thing on my mind

Little by little I'm finding out

The truth behind your eyes

Maybe if I don't show

I thought you might like to know

You're gonna be the last thing on my mind
