We're not long for this world   We're not long for this world   And the way I can tell is   I know you too well   We're not long for this world      I know the words that you say   And the words that you mean   And I remember the days   When you meant everything      We're not long for this world   We're not long for this world   And the way I can tell is   I know you too well   We're not long for this world      You hold me close in your arms   And I feel the cold   Oh, but you never meant any harm   By the lies that you told      We're not long for this world   We're not long for this world   And the way I can tell is   I know you too well   We're not long for this world      Yes, the way I can tell is   I know you too well   We're not long for this world
