you play the fool again
and hide behind your friends
you say you walked away
but that´s not on your face

you´re waiting for the sign
to leave them all behind
you shudder all the way
and wonder what they´ll say

you have your chance
to wash the stars away
but it´s too late

everybody
wants to touch your hand
but don´t you worry
about the talk behind your back
´til it´s too late

now you´re bracing for the fall
they´re blinded by it all
you´re frozen by the fear
of what they want to hear

you had your chance
to wash the stars away
but it´s too late

everybody
wants to touch your hand
but don´t you worry
about the talk behind your back
you´re all alone now
living in the past
´now it´s too late

fast as they can
slipped from your hands
and left you bare
now yesterday is all you have
but it´s too late
now you´re too late

everybody
wants to touch your hand
but don´t you worry
about the talk behind your back
you´re all alone now
living in the past
now you´re too late
and everyone who touched your hands
now it´s too late
is talking now behind your back
now it´s too late
alone and living in the past
now you´re too late
