As sorry as it seems
 It can be like it used to be
 We live on broken dreams
 We've given up on trying

 The face I thought I always knew
 The picture that I'd paint of you
 Your crying eyes are lying

 (Chorus)
 Can't you see the writing on the wall
 Will the ghost from the past
 Show us how it used to be
 Draw the line on the things we said
 Let them fade away
 Now you'll see the writing on the wall
 Oh yea, everything that used to be
 Is writing on the wall

 All the time we fooled ourselves
 Had some fun if nothing else
 But oh our little world was dying

 (1)(Chorus
