IOU

Sit and wallow in the faded lights
This reflection's gonna paralyze my life
Time has told me no more foolin' around
Coming soon today will be tomorrow
Wishing that I had the chance
Romantic though the world keeps crashing down
I'm alone inside the halls of my mind
Can't believe they say there's nothing to it

And I don't need no I.O.U
Without the proof can you be true
You're just a fool
With a broken heart

And I don't care about mystery
Don't give a damn about history at all
Is life only a story to tell
Are you gone or not forgotten
Sympathy is just pathetic now
Your tired face they're gonna rub it in the ground
Don't lose sight of your glimmer of hope
I hope you'll see that there's nothing to it

And I don't need no I.O.U
Without the proof can you be true
You're just a fool
And I don't need no I.O.U
Without the proof can you be true
You're just a fool
With a broken heart

I can see what used to be
It seems to be tragedy
The old would die to be young
The young keep dying too young
Can you take this dream from me
So I can drift in endless sleep
It's a cruel, cruel world
And I've thrown my pearls
