Whatever happened?

The days are long
And the nights they've gone
And there's no one left
To hear your song
When you've got no rights
But you've done no wrong
And you've got no friends
Cos you don't belong
They say, cut your hair
And say your prayers
When you think of a girl
Who doesn't care
If you live or die
So you start to cry
Cos you love her so
But you don't know why

The worlds are getting smaller
The days are getting shorter
The nights are growing colder
And we're all growing older
There's nothing to look forward to
Nothing to look back upon
Growing cold and lonely
And everyone is dead and gone

What happened to the good times?

Yes, I've been hurt and I've hurt
And I've loved and I've lost
And I've cried, I've cried out my eyes
I had no life to live
And no love left to give
I was dead on my feet
On a dead end street

But then she came along
She's a lyric in a song
And it all felt write
When it all felt wrong
And every minute that she's gone
Is a minute too long
And now she's really gone
I can't go on…

The worlds are getting smaller
The days are getting shorter
The nights are growing colder
And we're all growing older
There's nothing to look forward to
Nothing to look back upon
Growing cold and lonely
And everyone is dead and gone

What happened to the good times
