If I could pave your streets with gold
Would you be happy growing old?
I'm an ordinary soul you know
With a broken heart that needs to grow
As you live your life from day to day
I see all the things you throw away
The road you're on won't lead you home
Maybe I'll be better off alone
I can't remember how I feel
I can't forget that time will heal
To feel my heart, to clear my mind
To change the saddest storyline
For every story there's an end
For every heart that's on the mend
I try to learn, I try to be
The one you need completing me
And now you and I will never known
And a thousand years will come and go
So hard to carry, hard to trust
A life that's threatened turns to rust and so
There goes an angel on her throne
The clothes she wears are not her own
Her life's in black and white you know
She's lost a diamond polishing a stone
I'm better off alone
If I could pave your streets with gold
Would you be happy growing old?
I'm an ordinary soul you know
With a broken heart that needs to grow
As you live your life from day to day
I see all the things you throw away
The road you're on won't lead you home
Maybe I'll be better off alone
I can't remember how I feel
I can't forget that time will heal
To feel my heart, to clear my mind
To change the saddest storyline
For every story there's an end
For every heart that's on the mend
I try to learn, I try to be
The one you need completing me
