As sorry as it seems  It can be like it used to be  We live on broken dreams  We¹ve given up on trying  The face I thought I always knew  The picture that I¹d paint of you  Your crying eyes are lying  Can¹t you see the writing on the wall  Will the ghost from the past  Show us how it used to be  Draw the line on the things we said  Let them fade away  Now you¹ll see the writing on the wall  Oh yea, everything that used to be  Is writing on the wall  All the time we fooled ourselves  Had some fun if nothing else  But oh our little world was dying  Sorry as it seems  It can¹t be like it used to be  We¹ve lived on broken dreams  We¹ve given up on trying  Can¹t you see the writing on the wall  Will the ghost from the past  Show us how it used to be  Draw the line on the things we said  Let them fade away  Now you¹ll see the writing on the wall  Oh yea, everything that used to be  Is writing on the wall
