Maybe I was justified to say goodbye
Maybe I was sure inside when I said those words to you
But maybe I was foolish the way I let you go
Maybe I was stupid, I don't know
But oh I know this song by heart
From the moment that we start
Till the moonlight falls apart
It's not easy, it's this world my dear
That seems so useless, seems so insincere
Maybe I could be someone if I closed my mind and held my tongue
Maybe it's the roses thorn that binds me to this uniform
The letters that you wrote me are lying on my bed
The message from my heart is left unread
But oh I know this song by heart
From the moment that we start
Til the moonlight falls apart
It's not easy, when this world my dear
Seems so useless
Seems so insincere
I can hear the sirens calling
Calling out for me
Hold me closer
Hold me tight so
I won't slip away
Baby there's a light outside my window in the pouring rain
If I could find my way back through, I would show you what I meant to do
The devil's in the detail, the reason's in the rhyme
I turn and face your music one more time
But oh I know your song by heart
From the moment that we start
Til the moonlight falls apart
It's not easy, when this world my dear
Seems so useless
Seems so insincere
Maybe I was justified to say goodbye
