I know just how you feel, cos I've been there before
You thought you found something that was for real that was for sure
You're taking it so bad, now you're counting for the cost
Not looking out for what you have, just what you've gone and lost
This is not like you, it's not the friend I'm used to, so we're gonna get you through oh
[CHORUS]
Fine the life find the life, that you used to know
Let memories touch your soul, of all your deepest hopes, oh
Shine the light shine the light, that you used to hold
Though you say you're just the same, well you know it ain't so
Oh deny it all you can, but you don't wanna be that man
Nobody's to blame, just like when leaves fall
Scattered dry and left to wonder the reason for it all
Seasons they do change, and as they change we grow
In time we all get older wiser learning as we go
Where's the friend I knew, the one I used to turn to, here's what you gotta do oh
[CHORUS]
Fine the life find the life, that you used to know
Let memories touch your soul, of all your deepest hopes, oh
Shine the light shine the light, that you used to hold
Though you say you're just the same, well you know it ain't so
Oh deny it all you can, but you don't wanna be that man
(that man) who left his hopes and dreams somewhere in the past
(that man) who's letting life go by through an empy glass
(that man) just look at what you got, don't wish for what you had
Cos your life could be so good, I just wish you'd live it like you should, so
[CHORUS]
Fine the life find the life, that you used to know
Let memories touch your soul, of all your deepest hopes, oh
Shine the light shine the light, that you used to hold
Though you say you're just the same, well you know it ain't so
Oh deny it all you can, but you don't wanna be that man
You don't wanna be that man
You don't wanna be that man
