So now your life has left you with a feeling
That dreams are only for the chosen few
That what was going on while you were sleeping
Came and went away and now it's all too late
That time is up and that you should be leaving
That there's nothing left round here for you to do
That talk is cheap and looks can be deceiving
Cause it's cold inside your heart, and you're all black and blue
Ever since she went away
You've been feeling out of shape
There's nothing left to celebrate and you're stuck on your own
Sitting in a lonely place
Cautious like a renegade
She disappeared without a trace and left you all alone
Now you're hiding from the light
Trying to cover up your eyes
Running to the other side whenever she's around
Love has been a lonely town
Ever since she broke you down
And you don't ever want to fall out of love again
Dancing like you've gone and caught a fever
The sun has got you blinded by the light
Down and out while swimming up the river
Deep into the blue in a blue bayou
You wanna go to where the grass is greener
The days are flashing by before your eyes
But the nights are long and you are a believer
And that big old paper moon is shining down on you
Ever since she went away
You've been feeling out of shape
There's nothing left to celebrate and you're stuck on your own
Sitting in a lonely place
Cautious like a renegade
She disappeared without a trace and left you all alone
Now you're hiding from the light
Trying to cover up your eyes
Running to the other side whenever she's around
Love has been a lonely town
Ever since she broke you down
And you don't ever want to fall out of love again
