Well, I was a man, disguised as a fool
Who wouldn’t live by all those rules
I couldn’t stop from falling down
So I got lost, as you found
It was a long, long time ago
There were hopes, that I’ve let go
It’s not about what’s wrong or right
I just had to say, goodnight
If this is an end, my friend
It’s okay, I’ll be all right
‘Cause that’s when it all begins again
You don’t have to hold so tight
Just remember, if it starts
It will end, my friend
Well, I got a story that I share with no one
Been writing it since I don’t know when
But I’m not afraid to let you in
I need to be in someone’s arms again
If this is an end, my friend
It’s okay, I’ll be all right
‘Cause that’s when it all begins again
You don’t have to hold so tight
Just remember, if it starts
It will end, my friend
That was a long, long time ago
We had plans, that we’ve let go
It’s not about who’s wrong or right
We just had to say, goodbye
If this is the end, my friend
It’s okay, we’ll be all right
‘Cause that’s when it all begins again
We don’t have to hold so tight
Just remember, if it starts
It will end, my friend
If this is the end, my friend
It’s okay, I'll be all right
‘Cause that’s when it all begins again
You don’t have to hold so tight
Just remember, that if it starts
It will end, and that’s all right, my friend
