Who said the web of life is woven in a dream, 'Cause your life is filled with dreams you can't believe. So the only way you live with it is acting every scene, And you play the part so well, that you deceive Now and again I find you ain't got a friend Who knows, I come and I go, but it's your life... Though the world is overcrowded you still found an empty place, And I know he leaves you helpless and confused. And your search for love has often left you staring into space Just another broken heart, so what's the use? How many times have I been so hard to find? You know I come and I go, but it's your life... How does it feel when he's not around? Can he be real when he can be found nowhere? Who lit the flame upon the candle tonight? And who let herself be lit so easily? And who let it burn until the early morning light And in the early morning gave herself to me? And so, my love, you know that it's your life...
