Richard Marx
Ordinary World
[Verse 1]
Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
I thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
And still I can't escape the ghost of you
[Pre-Chorus]
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some would say
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away
[Chorus]
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
[Verse 2]
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window
'Cross the rooftops, run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
What has happened to me?
Crazy, some would say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away
[Chorus]
But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
[Pre-Chorus]
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some would say
Where is the world that I recognize?
Gone away
[Chorus]
And I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
[Outro]
Everyone is my world
I will learn to survive
Everyone, everyone
Somehow I have to find
