<poem>
I can't hold on, it slips away
I can't hold on, it slips away
Line 25: Line 127:
Will haunt me still for eternity
Will haunt me still for eternity


And all I can do is walk along
And all I can do is walk along these cobblestone streets
These cobblestone streets
Thinking about the life that's passing by in front of me
Thinking about the life that's passing by in front of me
And all I can do is trace the steps
And all I can do is trace the steps that I have walked before
That I have walked before
And think about the life I never lived
And think about the life I never lived


Line 39: Line 139:
Was I born to be alone for all of my life?
Was I born to be alone for all of my life?
How come everybody here is wearing a smile?
How come everybody here is wearing a smile?
They all have their things to do
They all have their things to do, people that they love
People that they love
And that's the life, the life I never lived
And that's the life, the life I never lived
