See the man sittin' at the corner He looks at life and he knows he's lost He thinks of times when he wasn't a loner Of times and people, people that he knew from his past Wanders on trough the streets in the city A place he used to know People laugh, not ashamed of his pity But time grows like his pain and his sorrow
We know he's old, but how long will he last He never thought, that life would ever Ever pass him by so fast
Sometimes it feels like life's a goodbye Lookin' in from the outside You never turn around, you've got to hide Life is only a goodbye
Father's home, he looks into the mirror Spits at his reflection Hears a voice saying "You're a sinner" And he feels that he can't take the rejection no more Family's home, feeling safe and peaceful Don't hear the footsteps in the night T.V. plays, while father shoots to kill 'em When they asked him why, he said that life's a goodbye
We know he's sick, and we know he won't last He never thought that life would ever Ever pass him by so fast
Sometimes it feels like life's a goodbye Lookin' in from the outside You never turn around, you've got to hide Life is only a goodbye
He never thought, that life would ever Ever pass him by so fast
Sometimes it feels like life's a goodbye Lookin' in from the outside You never turn around, you've got to hide Life is only a goodbye Sometimes it feels like life's a goodbye Lookin' in from the outside You never turn around, you've got to hide Life is only a goodbye
