As sorry as it seems It can be like it used to be We live on broken dreams Weve given up on trying The face I thought I always knew The picture that I'd paint of you Your crying eyes are lying 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 Sorry as it seems It can't be like it used to be Weve lived on broken dreams Weve given up on trying 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
