Today I found an old family album
Flipped through faded pictures of smiles
And summers long forgotten
There was this picture of you
I wonder what you were saying
What was it that made you laugh?
We felt so alive back then
Is this the better way?
I remember one day
8 am at the breakfast table
Is something the matter I asked
Of course not, you said
Why should there be
A problem?
You turned to yourself
Staring out of the window and I
I went out and closed the door
Is this the better way?
Maybe there was something I should have said
For there certainly was something I failed to see
Why is it so goddamn hard
Just to go with the flow
Just to live from day to day
And take it as it comes
When did the world become
Such a cold, cold place
More and more I feel
I feel I don’t belong
I feel I don’t belong
I don’t know myself anymore
This really can’t go on
I wish I could have spared you this farewell
For you deserve so much more
than I could ever give you
So don’t be angry and don’t feel sorry
This really is the better way
