It's a Cruel World (But You Took Me Away from It All)

Take me back to boy I was at seventeen
 Just to feel again
 Not this dream again
 I've been walking through the world with your ghost
 Trying to hold its hand
 Like a loveless man
 'cause it's a cruel world
 But you took me away from it all
 Just like our old friend said
 Life's not what it seems
 Not at all
 When the story has been told
 And I'm left out wandering and cold
 It's only you that I see
 It's only you that can save me
 Someone far, far away had a dream
 Someone just like me
 Ruined by reality
 So I'll keep walking through the world 'till I can't no more
 Oh, all I ever wanted was you
 'cause it's a cruel world
 But you took me away from it all
 Just like our old friend said
 Life's not what it seems
 Not at all
 When the story has been told
 And I'm left out wandering and cold
 It's only you that I see
 It's only you that can save me
 'cause it's a cruel world
 But you took me away from it all
 Just like our old friend said
 Life's not what it seems
 Not at all
