Once I was a fly sittin’ on your bedroom wall
Once I was a dust you were sweepin’ off the floor
Once I was a tear slowly rollin’ down your cheek
Once I was a wind singin’ songs just for your ears

Now there’s nothing left to say and the world has turned to grey
Something breakin’ deep inside, there’s no chance to save the day

We were shoutin’ loud ‘bout the world around all night
We were both like one and flyin’ high in the light
We were underage, [bad word] with love and full of rage
All the days were bright, troubles out of sight and away

Now there’s nothing left to say and the world has turned to grey
Something breakin’ deep inside, there’s no chance to save the day

Now I understand that was nothin’ but a dream!
And the days that pass they are never what they seem
Now I’m off the rails and you seem so full of pain
Each and every night as I find you go astray

Now there’s nothing left to say and the world has turned to grey
Something breakin’ deep inside, there’s no chance to save the day
