To all those rays of hope, to those flops and blunders Opportunities which just slipped through my fingers To those boats I never caught and to tormented sleep To those folks I wanted to be, only idols, not for keeps
Misunderstandings, words unspoken, all the lies The moments I thought shared that fade before my eyes Things said so quickly that you don't mean what you say To those who couldn't see things my way To the deeds we missed
Those years wasted in trying to act the clown The walls in front of me that I could not push down To all those things I missed, which now remain unknown To all those things I'd much better not have known
The world with its pains, I no longer am afraid The notes, the melodies, I really wish I'd played All the words that others put in rhyme that left me stunned Like so many children who never knew to land of the living To the deeds we missed
To loves that break apart because they'd loved too much Faces and their features that were only light brushed To treasons that I made that left me so untouched To those living who should not be as such
To our destinies for which we have no control To an the masks that circumstances made me put on To our weaknesses, our forgetfulness and our desperations To fears which must remain in our possession To the deeds we missed
