So I sit here writing words in our old place
|
They all come out as letters
|
And I contemplate mistakes that we all make
|
Start and the ending of eras
|
When mystery fades
|
We identify the problems
|
But, they may not be problems after all
|
|
[Pre-Chorus]
|
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
|
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
|
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And I can't let it bother me
|
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
|
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
|
|
So I sit here carving words into the wall
|
Words that remind me of just how I was
|
I never felt as old and lonely as I felt
|
When I was young and in love
|
When mystery fades
|
We identify the problems
|
But, they may not be problems after all
|
|
[Pre-Chorus]
|
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
|
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
|
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And I can't let it bother me
|
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
|
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
|
Can't let it bother me
|
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
|
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
|
|
Too seriously,
|
Too seriously...
|
