We use to think everything had meaning We used to believe, ooh we used to dream But life, life will cut you down Cut you straight to the bone Grinding pleasure to stone So how far do we go When there's no light at the end of the road And how do we breathe when our lungs are filled with smoke Will you be there with me? As the Sun comes down As our story ends and a new day begins Will you be there with me? As the lights go dark As we turn the page At the end of the day And what do we become When our legends and martyrs Our myths and monsters Start to lose their charms And where do we go Once we reach the end of the road And how do we feel When our hearts have turned to stone Will you be there with me? As the Sun comes down As our story ends and a new day begins Will you be there with me? As the lights go dark As we turn the page At the end of the day Tell me why we gave it everything we had But didn't win the fight Still trying to keep our head above the water They say in time Everything will work out just the way it should But nothing ever changes And it never would You know it never could Will you be there with me? As the Sun comes down As our story ends Will you be there? Will you be there with me? As the lights go dark As we turn the page At the end of the day
