We've been down this road
so many times before
tripped on every stone
it seems so long ago
but when I look into your eyes
I see the time that's passed us by
I just want to make you smile
I still wish that you were mine

Tell me, is it fair?
I'm in this empty house
I see our kids in your yard
I get to love them from afar
He picks them up, you let them play
you even took the stranger's name
I want to scream, I need to shout
but there's no word that can describe

It's a gambler's life
it's a lonesome road
saw him in a dream
the man I could have been
but there's a sickness inside
and it's mine to keep
I'm a hero in disguise
and that's all I'll ever be

Standing on that ledge
for the hundredth time
I see the stars above
below the roaring sea
I take a step outside
I fly on the breeze
now I leave this world
this world that always hated me
