You know everyday I walk down memory lane   Trying to find a way past the same old pain   Ah but now the message is loud and it's clear   You know there ain't no way to get there from here      Yeah I've finally realized that's the way things are   I got the bleeding stopped but there's gonna be a scar   I know I'll go on living but you're always gonna be around   Deep down, deep down      Well, I know an old soldier who walks with a limp   From a war he's still fightin' inside of him   And just like me he'll go to his grave   Nursin' a pain that won't go away      Yeah I've finally realized that's the way things are   I got the bleeding stopped but there's gonna be a scar   I know I'll go on living but you're always gonna be around   Deep down, kind of deep down      Maybe I really don't wanna be through   With all the memories I have of you   We had some bad times   But we had good times too, yeah, oh yeah      Yeah I've finally realized that's the way things are   I got the bleeding stopped but there's gonna be a scar   I know I'll go on living but you're always gonna be around   Deep down, kind of deep down   You'll always be around, deep down
