Текст песни
At twenty, we love like crazy, burning s down
At twenty-five, we build a family on an emotional high
At thirty, we hold on for the kids, the rush of the town
Just hoping that the warmth we lost will return by and by
But then by forty, you realize your life is split in two
Half the journey's covered up by tracks you can't retrace
And quiet blame now walks the halls and echoes through and through
Just the cold and endless night between us in this place
People leave, people leave
People leave from the emptiness and silent space
To find a place where frozen days can finally melt away
Where they'll be held without a lie, without a false embrace
A break past forty isn't betrayal, it's not a sin
It's a desperate attempt to save the years you have within
To start it all again and see the dawning of the light
And take a drink of freedom that is real and pure and bright
Now sorrow has moved into this house, it's settled in to stay
Where the only sounds are bitter thoughts we never get to say
When there's no respect, when water has turned into ice
We're two together, but inside, we're lonely and pay the price
A person starts to ask themselves, a final, parting plea
"Is this really how I want to live what's left of me
To serve the final seconds of this exile, endlessly?"
Beyond the door, there might be smoke, another hazy view
But at least a ray of hope will finally break through
To feel you're wanted and alive, to feel the sun again
Not smoldering in these clothes of gray, this cold and heavy chain
Remember this one simple truth, a lesson hard and learned
While your heart still beats and stubborn thoughts have not been overturned
To save the rest of your own life, before it is too late
Is a worthy end to a long drama sealed by fate
People leave, people leave
People leave from the emptiness and silent space
To find a place where frozen days can finally melt away
Where they'll be held without a lie, without a false embrace
A break past forty isn't betrayal, it's not a sin
It's a desperate attempt to save the years you have within
To start it all again and see the dawning of the light
And take a drink of freedom that is real and pure and bright
To start again
To try once more
