You gave him some good years
Now you'd like them back
Mistakes become clearer
After the fact
Now when you pick up the pieces
But you can't make them fit
Don't waste all your time
Trying to make sense of it
Just hurry back
To the land of the living
Things have changed
Since you've been gone
The world is turning
In the land of the living
Take a deep breath
Life goes on...life goes on
Come down from that dark cloud
What's done is done
Don't you go down believing
You're the only one
That ever felt heartache
Turn to regret
We've all got something
We'd like to forget...that's right
Just hurry back
To the land of the living
Things have changed
Since you've been gone
The world is turning
In the land of the living
Take a deep breath
Life goes on...life goes on
Lean on my shoulder
And whisper your tears
We all need someone
To echo our fears
Just hurry back
To the land of the living
Things have changed
Since you've been gone
The world is turning
In the land of the living
Take a deep breath
Life goes on...life goes on
In the land of the living
The world is turning
Life goes one
In the land of the living
