Strange, the view from here Words we spoke, forgotten at the time Now replay in my mind What went wrong, what was right Looking back, I never was there for you You didn't say, but I know it's true I can't find the real world alone Every time I think I've won I hear your voice inside, questioning Where have you gone Can't you remember feeling so alone You always had the answer that I could not see I can't find the real world I can't find the real world I can't find the real world alone I can't find the real world I can't find the real world I can't find the real world alone
