[Verse 1]
Your desires that were realised the day that you exchanged
The very core of yourself away till nothing more remained
Of your past life as all of the friends around you
Fell one by one as you made your way up the stairway

[Chorus]
Everything you wanted to
Came true for you and your endeavour
Till it all came home to you that
It could never last forever

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
It's too late because yesterday has vanished for all of time
But today and tomorrow welcome you and your decline
What a shame, who's to blame for your state of being?
Where are the friends you once had now you really need them?

[Chorus]
Everything you wanted to
Came true for you and your endeavour
Till it all came home to you that
It could never last forever
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
