If ever there was a way
to figure it all out,
I would like to know why people leave
and what it's all about.
A heart can get broken,
a dream can be shattered,
It's a hard thing to find out
you never really mattered.
So, settle down, try to clear your mind,
quit taking two steps forward
to get further behind.
Light a candle, turn off the phone,
accept the fact, in your little world,
you will be alone.
Who would have thought
at this time of your life,
you'd feel like the forgotten
friend, sister, mother and wife.
You look in the mirror,
Oh! Look at that hair, look at that face!
And run once again
to your far away place.
So, settle down, try to clear you mind,
quit taking two steps forward
to get further behind.
Light a candle, turn off the phone,
accept the fact, in your little world,
you will feel so alone.
Is tomorrow really a new day?
Will it bring hope, acceptance, love?
Who can bring you answers -
the guy on the street,
the man up above?
It's all out there,
I have to believe.
But somehow I know in my heart,
I will forever give and never receive.
So, settle down, clear your mind.
You've taken two steps forward
just to fall further behind.
Light that candle,
turn off that phone.
In your own little world,
you truly are alone.
