Ups and Downs

Hello Old Friend, it's been a while

but I've had lots to take in, had a lot on my plate again

My life has been strange, it's been a series of all these Ups and Downs

Since we last met, I've been on a rollercoaster

Slipping and sliding, and looping the loop

When your life won't settle, how can you ask your mind to?

Cause when I think I am safe, and the coast is clear

Reality strikes again

You are gone and I must go on

I'll go on

Sorry Old Friend, I didn't mean to neglect you

but being afraid makes the music die in you,

so I built these walls to keep me from falling down, down

It's been a difficult time for my friends and my family

We said goodbye to someone too soon

I've been getting by, but it takes the life out of you

And when I think I am safe, and there's no-one around

Reality strikes again

You are gone and I must go on

I'll go on

Didn't know what to expect, for your leaving was all that I have ever known

There's a pain in my chest, and my head's breaking down and I don't know which way to turn

Come home, come home

For I am alone. I'm alone, I'm alone

Hello Olf Friend, it's been a while

but I've had lots to take in, had a lot on my plate again

My life has been strange, it's been a series of all these Ups and Downs.
