34 Winters

Life as we know it
 Has come to an end
 A suburban catastrophe
 It's time to start mourning
 The death of a friend
 Who's standing in front of me
 And I can't stop the hatred
 That wells up inside
 As I look for a glimmer
 In his vacant eyes
 And I can't do a damn thing 'cause
 I can't feel a damn thing
 With a hole in my heart
 That's a thousand miles wide
 'Cause the smile has left his face
 The portrait of happiness he can't retrace
 Gone is the love that once lived there
 It's cold as a stone, cold as a stone
 It's laid out before him
 With trembling hands
 But the parts don't seem to fit
 And the 34 winters
 Haven't left him as cold
 As this one conversation did
 And I don't understand
 With eyes open wide
 Why you see love so clearly
 But it still leaves you blind
 And I can't do a damn thing,
 'Cause I can't say a damn thing
 And I can't stop this woman
 From pushing him aside
 'Cause the smile has left his face
 The portrait of happiness he can't retrace
 Gone is the love that once lived there
 It's cold as a stone, cold as a stone
 Life as we know it
 Has come to an end
 Nothing can be the same
