It's the time of the year for love   but thats not what I'm thinking of   it's strange the way things go   it's a brand new year you know   and what have i got to show      and when it's said and done, your still long gone   all the world lies I suppose, but the thing nobody knows   while I'm smiling wide, I'm crying inside   sadness loss and strife, its the story of my life      Before you get upset   just let me get this off my chest   The seasons never slow    so let me rest or let me go      and if this is free, i'm here to see   what its like to be trapped and your potential kept   i guess i was wrong when i wrote this song   im probably never right   it's the story of my life      so please don't be afraid    if i should say im not ok   i only mean that i, just don't know why i even try   and now its all so clear that the end is near    i know that you'll see its the way it had to be   so i'll say goodbye, tell my mother not to cry   the silver of my knife is the ending of my life   anger loss and strife its the story of my life
