Life is like a circus wheel
And I never know how to feel
You're still woven in the way back then
But I never meant to hurt you or to lose a friend
The times gone by on a runaway train
And I don't know where he's going or if he's back again

But you, you're looking at me
Just say what you want,
just say what you need
Cause I, I need to be free
To come as I go and go as I please

Did you think I'd stay?
Well you should turn the other way
Cause we're never going back again
All you did was stay
Holding on to yesterday
Well it's never coming back again

D|--0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0----------------------------------|

Life, a couple hundred miles away
And I remember you like it was yesterday
I didn't want to leave you on your own in the end
But we're not supposed to feel this, I can't pretend
But times gone by on a runaway train
And there's nothing we can do to bring it back again

So you, why you looking at me?
I'm not what you want
It's not what you need
Cause I, I need to be free
To come as I go and go as I please

You can stay in the past
You can live a lie
Say I've changed
Call me cold                                         X2
Call me what you like
And never know what it's like on the other side
