Today I got a letter from someone
Just a friend we knew some time ago
And as I read between the lines
I began to realize

He didn't know I lost you
A long long time ago
Oh, I, just can't make it any longer
Everything I do is always wrong

Lord I'm just living a lie
And there's no need in trying
To keep hanging on
After all the good is gone

Lord I wish that I could die
And there's no use in trying
To keep hanging on
After all the good is gone
