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... 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... 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? 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? Too seriously, Too seriously...
