[Verse 1]
Used to be so innocent, thought I'd never change
A victim of the feeling and fighting every day
Nothing here is permanent, we all just fade away

[Chorus]
The writing's on the wall, the stories I've been told
I'm crying 'cause I know you won't be here too long
The writing's on the wall, I'm bracing for the fall
So now if it's not too late to ask for more
I hope that you will find what you were looking for

[Verse 2]
You and I were dreaming like we'd seen the other side
With all the bliss of ignorance, a dream that never hides
That nothing here is permanent, we're running out of time

[Chorus]
The writing's on the wall, the stories I've been told
I'm crying 'cause I know you won't be here too long
The writing's on the wall, I'm bracing for the fall
So now if it's not too late to ask for more
I hope that you will find what you were looking for

[Bridge]
I try to forget, but the memory takes its toll
Can't control it, how'd this happen to us all?
How do I go on in a world where you are gone?
Cold and heartless, find the will to carry on

[Chorus]
The writing's on the wall, the stories I've been told
I'm crying 'cause I know you won't be here too long
The writing's on the wall, I'm bracing for the fall
So now if it's not too late to ask for more
I hope that you will find what you were looking for
