Here I stand
A face without a name
Just a lonely man
Trying to play the game
Every time you think you're getting close
And your day has finally come
You're really just so far away
Cause you're always on the run
Will this be your last goodbye
Only time will tell if what you did was all a lie
It's a long way down
When you're on top of the world
Every friend you have right now
Will be gone when you fall
Look at all the things around you
So much here has changed
There's got to be a way to make it last
When you finally understand
Why your life has rearranged
You're gonna hear the people say
It was over way too fast
No one knows what's on your mind
Only time will tell if what you did was all a lie
It's a long way down
When you're on top of the world
Every friend you have right now
Will be gone when you fall
Plastic smiles and empty words
Leading you astray
It's a long way down
But you'll never go away
When you think of what you've lost
Was it really worth the cost
When you think of what you had
Does it start to drive you mad
It's a long way down
When you're on top of the world
Every friend you have right now
Will be gone when you fall
Plastic smiles and empty words
Leading you astray
It's a long way down
But you live another day
