Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ever since I've seen your face
This life or mine has gone to waste
I was young and you were old
And I always knew you were cold
At the start you had a heart
But in the end you lost your friend
Can you see your own dark face?
It's dying in a lonely place
[Chorus]
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
[Verse 2]
As we get old, we lose our place
Reflecting back the world's disgrace
I feel so low, I feel so humble
Sometimes in life we take a tumble
Don't let anybody tell you that you're no good
'Cause you know they would
Don't let anybody tell you what you should do
'Cause it's not that way and
[Chorus]
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
We were young and we were pure
And life was just an open door
I said oh, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
[Verse 3]
You were me and I was you
This world of ours it felt brand new
You took me a little further
I heard it all before, I've heard it all before
I can't hear it anymore
Your hair was long, yes eyes was blue
Guess what I'm gonna do to you
[Chorus]
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
We were young and we were pure
And life was just an open door
I said oh, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
I said oh, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
We were young and we were pure
