Isn't this surprising
You're leaving me
No way to return
After all the ups and downs
Why'd you have to
Hang me by my word
It's a long way up
Short way down
I know I've never been
The person
I promised you I would be
(Long way up)
I know we've never
Seen the places
I told you once we would see
(Short way down)
We'd have gotten there
In time I know
Long way up
Short way down
Facing only failure
The images are
Haunting me at night
It's a sickness still inside me
The acid tracks you've left
Have stained my life
It's a long way up
Short way down
I know I've never been
The person
I promised you I would be
(Long way up)
I know we've never
Seen the places
I told you once we would see
(Short way down)
We'd have gotten there
In time I know
Long way up
Short way down
Fighting over time
That's wasted
Creates wasted time
You've looked
In other lonely faces
Now look in mine
It wasn't so surprising
Your leaving me with
No way to return
After all the ups and downs
I guess you had to
Hang me by my word
It's a long way up
Short way down
I know I've never been
The person
I promised you I would be
(Long way up)
I know we've never
Seen the places
I told you once we would see
(Short way down)
We'd have gotten there
In time I know
Long way up
Short way down
