I was living far in the future then Always thinking two or three moves ahead I did not see that everything I needed Was right in front of me Precious moments that I let pass me by I was focused on what became a lie Everything I missed, all of those tears of joy That I will never cry Life goes on So I'm standing, inside I'm broken down And I'm walking but I just don't know how I'm trying not to look too far ahead And not live in the past Now I'll take it, whatever you can give I will be here, this moment's where I'll live Tomorrow may not come and even if it does I know she won't be there Life goes on And it doesn't stop for anything or anyone And I get the feeling that I'm being dragged along It's not right or wrong but it is always true And it just doesn't matter what I'm going through And even though I'm on my knees and begging it to stop The world still turns and life goes on
