It wasn't quite the same
Not even when it was
I'd ask you why the games
And you'd say just because
Back in the day, I'd say, the nights were a lot of fun
But from the very start, the end had just begun

Must stick up for yourself
'Cause else nobody will
But I stuck up for you
(sometimes I do that still)
Back when you were mine, was fine, hearts warm just like the sun
But from the very start, the end had just begun

You said
I reminded you of your dad
I said
I have my own good- and my bad
But when we talked heart to heart we just didn't see eye to eye
And when you want things better, then it takes two to try

It's been a long long time
Since I last heard your name
If I don't look for you
I think of you the same
Wherever you are, how far, I'm hoping you're far from done-
But from the very start, the end had just begun

It wasn't quite the same
Not even when it was
I'd ask you why the games
And you'd say just because
Back in the day, I'd say, the nights were a lot of fun
But from the very start, the end had just begun

'Cause else nobody will
