Lyrics

Separate Ways

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Sympathy

Is not a virtue that you recognize

I look into your unforgiving eyes

And see my shame

It's clear to me

That after all the things that weve been through

We've done so much there's nothing left to do

And were both to blame

But as we turn to go our separate ways

I can't help but remember the years

When the world was in our hands

And we had no time for tears

But as we turn to lead our separate lives

My soul aches for what we've become

But the world it doesn't care

When we finish what we've done

Memories

Of a place that we both used to know

A place the two of us could always go

And be as one

Now I can see

That we believed emotions never there

We built them up and then we didn't care

Til they were gone

But as we turn to go our separate ways

I cant help but remember the years

When the world was in our hands

And we had no time for tears

But as we turn to lead our separate lives

My soul aches for what we've become

But the world it doesn't care

When we finish what we've done

I'll walk away and start again

A new beginning from the end

And all that I knew before

Will remain in the past

I'll find a brand new dream to live

I'll find the conviction to forgive

But things won't ever be quite the same

Cause you were the last

But as we turn to go our separate ways

I can't help but remember the years

When the world was in our hands

And we had no time for tears

But as we turn to lead our separate lives

My soul aches for what we've become

But the world it doesn't care

When we finish what we've done.
