|
I've seen this face before |
|
It somehow looks familiar |
|
Tattered and weatherworn |
|
A sad, pathetic creature |
|
And once you stood so strong |
|
Your eyes alight with promise |
|
You vowed to carry on |
|
A heart once beat in your chest |
|
Cut forward to another day |
|
Another time, another place |
|
You're not who you used to be |
|
And I wonder why |
|
I knew you once |
|
When you were young |
|
Before you knew |
|
What you'd become |
|
But that was then |
|
And this is now |
|
You've lost your way |
|
You've fallen down |
|
You can't just walk away |
|
You can't choose to ignore me |
|
I stand in front of you |
|
A stranger stands before me |
|
What happened to the boy |
|
Head filled with aspirations |
|
His dreams within his reach |
|
His life a celebration? |
|
Cut forward to another day |
|
Another time, another place |
|
You're not who you used to be |
|
And I wonder why |
|
I knew you once |
|
When you were young |
|
Before you knew |
|
What you'd become |
|
But that was then |
|
And this is now |
|
You've lost your way |
|
You've fallen down |
|
And now there's nothing left |
|
Your face a pale reflection |
|
With only emptiness |
|
You've lost your life's direction |
|
What happened to the man |
|
Who couldn't be defeated |
|
Who always stood his ground |
|
When lesser men retreated? |
|
Cut forward to another day |
|
Another time, another place |
|
You're not who you used to be |
|
And I wonder why |
|
I knew you once |
|
When you were young |
|
Before you knew |
|
What you'd become |
|
But that was then |
|
And this is now |
|
You've lost your way |
|
You've fallen down |
