So I sit here writing words in our old place

They all come out as letters

And I contemplate mistakes that we all make 

Start and the ending of eras

When mystery fades

We identify the problems

But, they may not be problems after all



[Pre-Chorus]

Shock and dismay, they affect what we say

We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues 

'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...



[Chorus]

And I can't let it bother me 

If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life 

Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?



So I sit here carving words into the wall

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 mystery fades

We identify the problems

But, they may not be problems after all



[Pre-Chorus]

Shock and dismay, they affect what we say

We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues 

'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...



[Chorus]

And I can't let it bother me 

If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life 

Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?

Can't let it bother me

If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life

Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?



Too seriously,

Too seriously...
