lyrics

As the years go by, and the knot unties,
She says the love has gone away, we’re never going back
I’m waiting on a southbound train, no one to explain,
Why there’s nothing left to say, we’re never going back
This illusion, a perfect union, played with an actors grace
Years together, all kinds of weather, just came tumbling down
Our last goodbye, made you cry, though you said you do not care
Picture perfect is hardly worth it, waiting on a southbound train
I thought we had it all, no faults or cause to fall
But it seems I had us wrong, we’re never going back
I look now with jaded eyes, to tired to truly cry
I lost my heart to love, I know – we’re never going back
This illusion, a perfect union, played with an actors grace
Years together, all kinds of weather, just came tumbling down
Our last goodbye, made you cry, though you said you do not care
Picture perfect is hardly worth it, waiting on a southbound train
As I know I feel, the world it seems unreal
When there’s nothing I can do, we’re never going back
