(The Way It's Meant to Be) Hello, my dear old friend I talk to you again After all these years Tell me what we're doing here Are we dead or are we still alive Say it loud, say it clear Is there no reason for my fear Are we really satisfied
Your face is looking good 'Cause you did everything you said you would But if you had the chance Would you do it all again Or is this the greatest lie on earth Say it now, say it loud Is there a reason to be proud The passing days what are they worth
Is this the way it's meant to be Empty hearts and broken dreams Is this our life and is this me What have I lost to feel so weak It's been a long way down
I touched forbidden ground And hidden memories Make me cry and make me scream For the paradise so long away And is she really still the one The heroine of all my songs Can I face another day
Is this the way it's meant to be Broken promises are all I see Now there is you and here is me Untold crimes and misery
Long ago, so long away It used to be so good Turn back time Oh, how I wish I could
Hello, my sweet young friend I talk to you again Now, can I give you some advice Just the one thing you must try To find your own way in the end Start a new life with the blue-eyed witch Just to find out she's a bitch But at least you've got a friend
