As sorry as it seems 
It can be like it used to be 
We live on broken dreams 
We've given up on trying 

The face I thought I always knew 
The picture that I'd paint of you 
Your crying eyes are lying 

Can't you see the writing on the wall 
Will the ghost from the past 
Show us how it used to be 
Draw the line on the things we said 
Let them fade away 
Now you'll see the writing on the wall 
Oh yea, everything that used to be 
Is writing on the wall 

All the time we fooled ourselves 
Had some fun if nothing else 
But oh our little world was dying 

Can't you see the writing on the wall 
Will the ghost from the past 
Show us how it used to be 
Draw the line on the things we said 
Let them fade away 
Now you'll see the writing on the wall 
Oh yea, everything that used to be 
Is writing on the wall
