[Verse 1] Illusion was the name Of every single game Now, theyve all disappeared from my view Yes, theyve all disappeared As my time does grow near But I hope that Ill remember you [Chorus] For when it all melts away It was never meant to stay And I need you Just to carry me back home [Verse 2] All of the years All of the laughter and tears How it seemed they were traded in vain But somehow I know Theres a place where I will go Where Ill find all my life there contained [Chorus] For when it all melts away It was never meant to stay And I need you Just to carry me back home [Verse 3] Well now, old friend Have we really reached the end? Is there nothing left for us to say or do? Have we shared our last cry? Have we told our last lie? And by the way, have I forgiven you? [Chorus] For when it all melts away It was never meant to stay And I need you Just to carry me back home [Chorus] For when it all melts away It was never meant to stay And I need you Just to carry me back home
