[Verse 1]
Treacherous voice is back again
Whispering emptiness over my shoulder
Telling me I should give in

Like an old unwanted friend
From the past that never seems to die
And is with me all the time

I know better days are ahead
Even if the light
At the end of the tunnel
Seems so far away

[Pre-Chorus]
So let’s smile madly in the face
Of memory
And the promise of an early grave

Stay here now
Don’t slip away-ay-ay-ay

[Chorus]
This is all just to say
I won’t lеave here today
Thеre is much to be done
So many songs left unsung
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I don’t know if I’ll escape
From this creeping feeling
That I have lost
From the very start

But we’re not born to die this way
All alone in a room
With your favorite record
Pleading for you to hold on

It feels better off this way
But it’s such a lie
That permeates
When you can’t see it through

[Pre-Chorus]
So let’s smile madly in the face
Of memory
And the promise of an early grave

Stay here now
Don’t slip away-ay-ay-ay
[Chorus]
This is all just to say
I won’t leave here today
There is much to be done
So many songs left unsung

This is all just to say
I won’t leave here today
There is much to be done
So many songs left unsung
