Gone, after she's gone in my way   I'll keep on going strong   Have to be strong   In my way just keep on going   I'll keep one wide open   Keep one locked away   And when the whole thing's over   No one left to blame      People are throwing their lives away   Saving their dreams for another day   Caught in a slow erosion in intimate decay   Until my will is broken no one left to blame      Don't let the world,   Don't let the world   Fall on your head   Don't let the world   Fall on your head      And when the flood gates open   Ashes swept away   Until my will is broken   I'll be first to say      Gone, after she's gone in my way   I'll keep on going strong   Have to be strong   In my way just keep on      Don't let the world,   Don't let the world   Fall on your head   Don't let the world   Fall on your head      Follow me down   Follow me down   Follow me down   Follow me down
