lyrics

Waited for you my son

You’ve come all this way

to be what you ought to be

It never crossed my mind

Passages of time would fade

Go up

And so they say

it’s written on the graves

of people who have lost their way

But you, my friend are with me till the end

No matter what those people have to say

And on we ride abandoned suicide long before I knew what I could say

It’s with this life that I put down the knife and put away those silly games we played

Well you know how it goes, the story’s old there’s no more to be told

You might just be god almighty busting down my door

I was never meant for all this feeling

Memories are lost in the revealing

And in the light of that moonlit night

I never thought I’d end up this way

How easily it falls away from me and slips through my fingers

Well you know how it goes, the story’s old there’s no more to be told

You might just be god almighty busting down my door

I was never meant for all this feeling

Memories are lost in the revealing

I can’t see it

You don’t believe it

Everything I knew before

It doesn’t matter anymore

Broken bruised and battered now

You’re only seventeen

Car crash queen you should’ve been

A legend on the screen

I was never meant for all this feeling

Memories are lost in the revealing

I was never meant for all this feeling

Memories are lost in the revealing
