So I sit here writing words in our old place They all come out as letter And I contemplate mistakes that we all make We start at the ending of errors When history fades we identify the problems But they may not be problems after all Shock and dismay they affect what we say We should bite out tongues We should bite our tongues Because after all it's only our lives anyway And I can't let it bother me If fact and fate just can't agree on love on life Can we stop taking ourselves too seriously? So I sit here carving words into the walls 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 history fades we identify the problems But they may not be problems after all Shock and dismay they affect what we say We should bite out tongues We should bite our tongues Because after all it's only our lives anyway And I can't let it bother me If fact and fate just can't agree on love on life Can we stop taking ourselves too seriously? Too seriously x2
