I may not show it but my soul's in pain
You may not know it but I'll never be the same
Too much too soon but knowledge came a little late
Draw back too far and hesitation is your fate

Still held by ties that never came undone
The war is over but the battle's never won
And in this hue and cry I can't be fully sure
What holds the greater claim - the poison or the cure?

In time, the tides will turn again and show what was mine
It's not so hard to see what's wrong and what's right

(Da da da da da...)

It's not for me to ask, it's not for me to say
Why some get paid and others always have to pay
This anguish burns - it's a solitary flame
But I'm like you, I can't erase its name

Try again, it's not too late
And after all, you never really failed
Try again, it's not too late
And after all, you never really failed
Try again, it's not too late
And after all, you never really failed
Try again, it's not too late
And after all, you never really failed...

(Ah ah...)
