Life as we know it Has come to an end A suburban catastrophe It's time to start mourning The death of a friend Who's standing in front of me And I can't stop the hatred That wells up inside As I look for a glimmer In his vacant eyes And I can't do a damn thing 'cause I can't feel a damn thing With a hole in my heart That's a thousand miles wide 'Cause the smile has left his face The portrait of happiness he can't retrace Gone is the love that once lived there It's cold as a stone, cold as a stone It's laid out before him With trembling hands But the parts don't seem to fit And the 34 winters Haven't left him as cold As this one conversation did And I don't understand With eyes open wide Why you see love so clearly But it still leaves you blind And I can't do a damn thing, 'Cause I can't say a damn thing And I can't stop this woman From pushing him aside 'Cause the smile has left his face The portrait of happiness he can't retrace Gone is the love that once lived there It's cold as a stone, cold as a stone Life as we know it Has come to an end Nothing can be the same
