If I could pave your streets with gold
Would you be happy growing old?
I'm an ordinary soul you know
With a broken heart that needs to grow
As you live your life from day to day
I see all the things you throw away
The road you’re on will lead you home
Maybe I'll be better off alone
I can't remember how I feel
I can't forget that time will heal
To feel my heart, to clear my mind
To change the saddest story line

With every story there's an end
For every heart that's on the mend
I tried to love I tried to be
The one you need completed me

And now you and I will never know
And a thousand years will come and go
So hard to carry, hard to trust
The light that's threatened turns to rust and song(?)
There goes an angel on her throne
The clothes she wears are not her own
Her life's in black and white, you know
She lost the diamond polishing the stone
I'm better off alone

If I could pave your streets with gold
Would you be happy growing old?
I'm an ordinary soul you know
With a broken heart that needs to grow
As you live your life from day to day
I see all the things you throw away
The road you’re on will lead you home
Maybe I'll be better off alone
I can't remember how I feel
I can't forget that time will heal
To feel my heart, to clear my mind
To change the saddest story line

With every story there's an end
For every heart that's on the mend
I tried to love I tried to be
The one you need completed me
