So long Songtext / Lyric

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


pre chorus: 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

chorus: 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 you, I'll see you

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' over rated
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

pre chorus
