Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Doomed from the start We met with a goodbye kiss, I broke my wrist It all kicked off, I had no choice You said that you didn't mind 'cause love's hard to find Maybe the days we had are gone, living in silence for too long Open your eyes and what do you see? No more laughs, no more photographs Turning slowly, looking back, see No words, can save this, you're broken and I'm pissed Run along like I'm supposed to, be the man I ought to Rock and Roll, sent us insane, I hope someday that we will meet again Running wild Giving it everyone, now that's all done Cause we burnt out, that's what you do When you have everything, it can't be true Maybe the days we had are gone, living in silence for too long Open you're eyes and what do you see? The last stand, let go of my hand Turning slowly, looking back, see No words, can save this, you're broken and I'm pissed Run along like I'm supposed to, be the man I ought to Rock and Roll, sent us insane, I hope someday that we will meet again You go your way and I'll go my way No words can save us, this lifestyle made us Run along like I'm supposed to, be the man I ought to Rock and roll, sent us insane, I hope someday that we will meet again
