Drift through the years and life seems tame

Drift through the years and life seems tame,
then a stranger appears and love is her name
You play with love, but it's not a game
There's no one else at fault, there's no one to blame

But onwards and onwards, time passes by
You never forget that heart-breaking lie,
Three simple words, if you hear, you'll die
You look back weeping, asking; why? why?

Everything fades through time
But what is to fade through
when it's been that since time
Everything goes through a poetic rhyme

Done to you, will happen to her
Pain to you, defeat to him
Don't worry, don't worry,
Stand up and don't be sorry

Let time erase your burdens away
Let fate control your every way
Lie down and succumb to predestination,
Go with the flow of your every sensation

Everything fades through time
But what is to fade through
when it's been that since time
Everything goes through a poetic rhyme
