Time passes I accept the blame And I accept that you might never care to see me again At least I can shake off shame Still I quiver like a dying leaf in a violent wind I don’t wish to be excused for this My disguise and my excuses they had worn so thin But may I ask and answer honestly What would you have done if you were me? How could it go so wrong so quickly? What would you do if you were me? Don’t assume that I have found this easy How would you feel if you were me? Time passes and kills everything In its path and then it buries us in history But some bits Some bits seem to stick Oh I thought that you and I could be a timeless thing I have to ask Please answer honestly What would you have done if you were me? How could it go so wrong so quickly? What would you do if you were me? Don’t assume that I have found this easy How would you feel if you were me?
