Writing on the Walls Lyrics

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 yeah, 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
As sorry as it seems
It can be like it used to be
We live on broken dreams
We've given up on trying
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 yeah, everything that used to be
Is writing on the wall
