I looked at life and love and saw,
Illusions of the past,
I told myself to carry on,
As nothing ever lasts.
Tomorrow I will live again,
And face each day anew,
And in my heart I’ll feel that loss,
But there’s nothing I can do.
Not a game, not anymore,
I thought I had it made,
Fading now is the flame inside,
To leave me in the shade.
In life I thought I knew the game,
I’d be the last to fall,
But looking back with wiser eyes,
I don’t know life at all.
