I can't go on like this, let it be over 
That's not the picture that you painted 
You've seen a better life but sirens come tonight 
And soon you're burning out and faded 

The endless chattering conceals many things 
But isn't worth the price of chaos 
I hear a voice laughing, they watch us staggering 
And only you and I to pay up 

When all I said and done you are the only one 
Who can make tomorrow painless 
A future promising to bring you better things 
May only leave you broke and shameless 

If I could live my life in peace and happiness, baby 
Then we could be the way we hoped and thought it would be 
Or so long some say, so long 
So long till I see ya, I'll see ya 

So many times before you dared the Devil 
Your luck is running out and wasted 
Too much intensity can be your enemy 
You think the powers' overrated 

You'll never know of pain or pity just the same 
You only seem to know the way up 
And still the voice laughing, they watch us staggering 
So now it's time for us to pay up 

When all I said and done you are the only one 
Who can make tomorrow painless 
A future promising to bring you better things 
May only leave you broke and shameless 

If I could live my life in peace and happiness, baby 
Then we could be the way we hoped and thought it would be 
Or so long some say, so long 
So long till I see ya

If I could live my life in peace and happiness, baby 
Then we could be the way we hoped and thought it would be 
Or so long some say, so long 
So long till I see ya

If I could live my life in peace and happiness, baby 
Then we could be the way we hoped and thought it would be 
Or so long some say, so long 
So long till I see ya

If I could live my life in peace and happiness, baby 
Then we could be the way we hoped and thought it would be 
Or so long some say, so long 
So long till I see ya, I'll see ya, I'll see ya
