Ups and Downs

Hello Old Friend, it's been a while But I've had lots to take in, had a lot on my plate again My life has been strange, It's been a series of all these Ups and Downs Since we last met, I've been on a rollercoaster Slipping and sliding, and looping the loop When your life won't settle, how can you ask your mind to? Cause when I think I am safe, and the coast is clear Reality strikes again You are gone and I must go on I'll go on Sorry Old Friend, I didn't mean to neglect you But being afraid makes the music die in you, So I built these walls to keep me from falling down, down It's been a difficult time for my friends and my family We said goodbye to someone too soon I've been getting by, but it takes the life out of you And when I think I am safe, and there's no-one around Reality strikes again You are gone and I must go on I'll go on Didn't know what to expect, For your leaving was all that I have ever known There's a pain in my chest, And my head's breaking down and I don't know which way to turn Come home, come home For I am alone. I'm alone, I'm alone Hello Olf Friend, it's been a while But I've had lots to take in, had a lot on my plate again My life has been strange, It's been a series of all these Ups and Downs.
