[Verse 1] Your words give you away Be careful how you say my name Step back, refrain Be honest and you'll save some face Cause you're fading Don't mistake me for a fool The game you play has changed
[Pre-Chorus] Take a look at yourself and the stories you tell Does the truth weigh on your mind? Tell me what did it cost when the moment was lost Is this how you survive?
[Chorus] Why, oh why do you have to lie? What are you afraid of? We know what you're made of Now your time has passed you by You've already made it There's no need to chase it Soak it up, soak it up and save it Cause enough is enough, you're jaded Golden years left you behind You cannot replace them Face it or you'll waste them You cannot replace them Face it or you'll waste them You cannot replace them Face it or you'll waste them You cannot replace them
[Verse 2] The gospel that you preach It's poisonous beyond belief But still, you'll reach Be careful or the truth might speak It's amazing when it's there in black and white for all to see We sow and you reap
[Pre-Chorus] Take a look at yourself and the stories you tell Does the truth weigh on your mind? Tell me what did it cost when the moment was lost Is this how you survive?
[Chorus] Why, oh why do you have to lie? What are you afraid of? We know what you're made of Now your time has passed you by You've already made it There's no need to chase it Soak it up, soak it up and save it Cause enough is enough, you're jaded Golden years left you behind You cannot replace them Face it or you'll waste them You cannot replace them Face it or you'll waste them
[Partial Chorus] Soak it up, soak it up and save it Cause enough is enough, you're jaded Golden years left you behind You cannot replace them Face it or you'll raise them You cannot replace them
