How have I come to this

 How did I slip and fall

 How did I throw half a lifetime away

 Without any thought at all

 

 This should've been my time

 It's over, it never began

 Facing a world, for once not on my side

 I simply turned and ran

 

 

 I try to blame it on fortune

 Some kind of twist in my fate

 But I know the truth and it haunts me

 I learned it a little too late

 

 

 I know the truth and it mocks me

 I know the truth and it shocks me

 I learned it a little too late

 

 

 People have faith in me

 I think I once did too

 I promise whoever has a hold on our lives

 I'll see the bad times through

 

 

 This should have been my time

 It's over, it never began

 Facing a world, for once not on my side

 I simply turned and ran

 

 

 I try to blame it on fortune

 Some kind of shift in the stars

 But I know the truth and it haunts me

 It's flown just a little too far

 

 

 I know the truth and it mocks me

 I know the truth and it shocks me

 It's flown just a little too far

 

 

 I try to blame it on fortune

 Some kind of twist in my fate

 But I know the truth and it haunts me

 I learned it a little too late
