When someone you love
Leaves you too soon
And saying goodbye
For the last time
Breaks you in two

All you can feel
Is that empty space
The words in your head
That never got said
All go to waste

I had a dream about the way things ought to be
I saw beauty and pain and love and all that's in between
Oh I wouldn't change a single thing
God only knows what I can't see

It's here then it's gone
Time is an apple on the tree
But sometimes life just tastes so strange to me
It's bittersweet

The telephone rings
And you get the news
Everything stops
And your heart drops
Down to your shoes

And all that you want
Is what you can't have
Because yesterday's gone
And you can't move on
But you can't go back

I had a dream about the way things ought to be
I saw beauty and pain and love and all that's in between
Oh I wouldn't change a single thing
God only knows what I can't see

It's here then it's gone
Time is an apple on the tree
But sometimes life just tastes so strange to me
It's bittersweet

It's ups and downs
And highs and lows
It's runaways who run back home

It's ups and downs
And highs and lows
It's holding on and letting go
