How have I come to this
How did I slip and fall
How did I throw half a lifetime away
Without any thought at all

This should´ve been my time
It´s over, it never began
Facing a world, for once not on my side
I simply turned and ran

I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of twist in my fate
But I know the truth and it haunts me
I learned it a little too late

I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me
I learned it a little too late
People have faith in me

I think I once did too
I promise whoever has a hold on our lives
I´ll see the bad times through
This should have been my time

It´s over, it never began
Facing a world, for once not on my side
I simply turned and ran

I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of shift in the stars
But I know the truth and it haunts me
It´s flown just a little too far

I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me
It´s flown just a little too far

I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of twist in my fate
But I know the truth and it haunts me
I learned it a little too late
