Didn’t I tell you the way back home • Didn’t I warn you
to stay on the road • Didn’t I help you to understand
That life is just time passing thru your hands

There’s no easy path thru it • The truth is there is no truth
to it • Moving thru the spotlight • Don’t let the paparazzi
world define you • Now you’ve made your mark on it
I know you believed the hope of it • You know nobody
wins • It’s the way you lose that keeps it hopeful

Didn’t I tell you I will be there • Didn’t I show you
I really care

You spoke of your plans for it • You talked all about your
destiny • I could see the rain clouds • But I couldn’t stop
the rain from falling • You tried to go way beyond it
You’d already made the most of it • Nothing wrong with
dreaming • Just don’t fool yourself about the meaning

Didn’t I tell you the way back home • Didn’t I warn you
to stay on the road • Didn’t I help you to understand
That life is just time passing thru your plans

You say that you can’t let go of it • That your life only
works because of it • You’re afraid that you can’t hold on
to it • But your heart doesn’t seem so sold on it • Why not
try to believe the heart of it • Why not try to perceive the
art in it • Why not let me be more a part of it • Didn’t I tell
you that I’d be there • Didn’t I show you that I really care

Didn’t I tell you the way back home • Didn’t I warn you
to stay on the road • Didn’t I help you to understand
That life is just time passing thru your hands
