Time stands still at the lookout You seem to wait patiently For life to come back and get you But seasons they just keep on rolling For this world shows no pity for those who got left behind It's down to you to lift yourself up from the inside I couldn't go back to that old life Even if I do miss it sometimes I doubt that I could do it again It's just the hard times can feel like your friend I tried to be someone else I've been so sick of myself If I can make it so can you When fire comes you know just what to do So never to return to that old life I have worked so hard on my stage fright If I ever feel the tide come to change I learnt the only way through is the flames There were times I did give up There were times I did give in But I got older anyway I guess that time is on our side in the end
