I took a different route home. 'Cause it might change my life. Nothing scares me more than life's excitement fading. My senses have grown dull. It's often said ""You cannot always get what you want"" It's true you colored my life, and helped me but you also gave me pain I don't have the courage to deny that You have your own life And so do I But you said it was a good decision It felt complicated to me I made a new promise to me It is not a bid farewell to my youth To turn over a new leaf I swear on this song or better yet, I wanna get it out of my sight It's often said ""You cannot always get what you want"" It's true you colored my life, and helped me but you also gave me pain I made a new promise to me It is not a bid farewell to my youth To turn over a new leaf I swear on this song
