Don't be surprised
|
|
if the stars in your eyes
|
|
leave you blinded
|
|
|
|
if the things that we dream
|
|
fall apart at the seams
|
|
they're misguided
|
|
|
|
you can't hide that you tried
|
|
that it hurt and you cried
|
|
don't deny it
|
|
|
|
and now you think twice
|
|
as your new dreams arise
|
|
afraid one more time you might buy in
|
|
|
|
then go the days
|
|
slipping away
|
|
they're behind you
|
|
|
|
fading away
|
|
the seconds each day
|
|
will not try to
|
|
|
|
remind you each day
|
|
is a step towards the grave
|
|
that's our due
|
|
|
|
though you're here in this place
|
|
one of these days
|
|
the world will go on without you.
