Take me back to boy I was at seventeen
Just to feel again
Not this dream again
I've been walking through the world with your ghost
Trying to hold its hand
Like a loveless man

'cause it's a cruel world
But you took me away from it all
Just like our old friend said
Life's not what it seems
Not at all

When the story has been told
And I'm left out wandering and cold
It's only you that I see
It's only you that can save me

Someone far, far away had a dream
Someone just like me
Ruined by reality
So I'll keep walking through the world 'till I can't no more
Oh, all I ever wanted was you

'cause it's a cruel world
But you took me away from it all
Just like our old friend said
Life's not what it seems
Not at all
When the story has been told
And I'm left out wandering and cold
It's only you that I see
It's only you that can save me

'cause it's a cruel world
But you took me away from it all
Just like our old friend said
Life's not what it seems
Not at all
