I never wanted you to be so full of anger
I never wanted you so be somebody esle
I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves
I always wanted you see things for yourself
If we ever find it true
That we had the strength to choose
I’m freed of all the chains
We held together
If I could go back in time to the place in my soul
There all alone
Lonely tear drops are calling you.
But I don’t want to know it now
Cuz knowing you it won’t change a damn thing
But there was a time
What this means to me
Is more than I know you believe
What I thought of you now
Has cost more that it should for me
Broken glass and cigarettes, writing on the wall
It was a bargain for the summer, and I thought I had it all
I was the one who gave you everything
The one who took the fall
You were the one who would do anything
The one who can’t recall
So now I wander through my days
And try to find my ways
To the feelings that I felt
I saved for you and no one else
And though as long as this road seems
I know its called the street of dreams
Because that stardust on my feet
It leaves a taste that’s bittersweet
That’s called the blues
Oh my god
I can’t deny this
I’ve been taught just to kill and fight this
To bury it deeper where nobody can find it
Like nobody wanted to know
When all is said and done
We’re not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That’s what the old folks say
But every time I’d see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
And it hurts too much to see you
And how you left yourself behind
You know I wouldn’t want to be you.
Now that’s a hell I can’t describe
Is it true? What they say of you?
Gonna call the President. Gonna call a Private Eye
Gonna get the IRS. Gonna need the FBI
There’s not anymore that I can do
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I’d know better, better
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I’d know better, better
Forgive them that tear down my soul
Bless them that they might grow old
And free them so that they may know
That it’s never too late
It was a long time for you
It was a long time for me
It’d be a long time for anyone
But looks like it’s meant to be
It don’t really matter. You’re gonna find out for yourself
No it don’t really matter. You’re gonna leave this thing to somebody else
