I’ve been living in fantasy

A life of infinite rhapsody

Out on my own where I’m wild and free

No choices to make, threw my chances away

I’ve been thinking about friends of mine

Breaking out of the paradigm

I’d like to join them if I could find the time

But there’ll be no regret, I’m not leaving you yet

Looking back won’t change nothing baby

Begging you “please”, it’s just not my style

I’m broke, despondent and loveless

But it was all worthwhile

I’ve been burning the candle bright

Crystal clear in the deep dead of night

Could’ve pushed harder if I felt it was right

But I sure did indulge, this I must divulge

So, perfection is an endless dream

Introspection is a dangerous thing

Please don’t forget me while I’m in between

I’ve made my own bed; I’ll sleep when I’m dead

Looking back won’t change nothing baby

Begging you “please”, it’s just not my style

I’m burnt out, wretched and jaundiced

But it was all worthwhile

We used to stay out all night

Making plans for a world we’d be living in now

Well time has changed us for better

But it was all worthwhile

Looking back won’t re-write the story

Drifting away on the winds of time

I’m broke, naïve and distorted

But it was all worthwhile
