Lyrics and music: M.Lindblom, A.Wollbeck

 When the shouting stops
 And the tears are dry
 When you did everything
 That you thought was right

 When the debt you owe
 Really starts to show
 And everyone around knows

 There's a good thing slipping away
 There's a would have been that should have stayed

 My head is strong
 But the feeling's gone
 I just can't be afraid
 So I'll take it on
 Even if I'm wrong
 I still won't be ashamed

 There's a good thing slipping
 But a good [bad word] my way

 I laid myself in a bed of trouble
 Way down low
 There's a hole in the garden now
 Where flowers used to grow
 When the door is closed
 Everybody knows
 window's flying open somewhere

 There's a good thing slipping away
 There's a would have been that should have stayed

 My head is strong
 But the feeling's gone
 I just can't be afraid
 So I'll take it on
 Even if I'm wrong
 I still won't be ashamed

 There's a good thing slipping
 But a good [bad word] my way

 So much time to regret
 So much pain to forget
 Don't even ask me to say it's not fair
 For you to stay
 Never wanted to pray
 Instead of living my life
