And a cop s standing out in the road turning traffic away

There s nothing she could do until after

When his body d been buried below

Way back in the day

Oh my nothing else could have been done

Made his life a lie

So he might never have to know anyone

Made his life a lieyou know

I told him he shouldn t have sent her

He d only be making it worse

Bothering somebody else

But i he that he d never forget her

While her memory worked in reverse

To keep her safe from herself

Oh my nothing else could have been done

She made her life a lie

So she might never have to know anyone

Made her life a lieyou know

What i used to be will pass away and then you ll see

And all i want now is happiness for you and me

What i used to be will pass away and then you ll see

And all i want now is happiness for you and me. . . .
