You lift me up then you cut me down,
In the end it counts for nothing,
We all live alone.
You paint me red then you taint me blue,
But the end amounts to nothing,
Coz we all breathe alone.
And you touch but I don't feel,
If you try then it don't show,
And I'm wishing we weren't so.
A lesson learned is a lessened burn,
And harsh, the hearth we live in,
As we all seek our grails,
And I touch but you don't feel,
And I try but you won't know,
And I'm wishing we weren't so.
Year after year,
We grow old, we grow new,
Year after year.
This shadow tracks my every move.
Now, the reasons I hold you so dear to me
Are the sum rewards of living,
And I want us to grow,
I touch but you don't feel,
Coz you go where you will go,
I'm wishing we weren't so.
Year after year,
We grow old, we grow new,
Year after year,
This shadow tracks my every move,
Mocks my every single turn,
You lift me up then you cut me down,
And the end amounts to nothing,
My heart remains my own,
We touch but it's a play,
And we try but its now show,
And I'm wishing we weren't so.
In the end it counts for nothing,
We all live alone.
You paint me red then you taint me blue,
But the end amounts to nothing,
Coz we all breathe alone.
And you touch but I don't feel,
If you try then it don't show,
And I'm wishing we weren't so.
