How have I come to this?   How did I slip and fall?   How did I throw half a lifetime away   Without any thought at all?      This should've been my time   It's over, it never began   Facing a world, for once not on my side   I simply turned and ran      I try to blame it on fortune   Some kind of twist in my fate   But I know the truth and it haunts me   I learned it a little too late      I know the truth and it mocks me   I know the truth and it shocks me   I learned it a little too late      People have faith in me   I think I once did too   I promise whoever has a hold on our lives   I'll see the bad times through      This should have been my time   It's over, it never began   Facing a world, for once not on my side   I simply turned and ran      I try to blame it on fortune   Some kind of shift in the stars   But I know the truth and it haunts me   It's flown just a little too far      I know the truth and it mocks me   I know the truth and it shocks me   It's flown just a little too far      I try to blame it on fortune   Some kind of twist in my fate   But I know the truth and it haunts me   I learned it a little too late
