Do you remember once upon a time
When you were mine
The stars above were bright and new
I pulled them down for you, just when I fell in love again
You said that all good things must end
[Chorus]
Baby, that's just the way it is baby
Baby, that's just the way it is baby
I've never had a hand for solitaire
It's so unfair
That I should have my chance and lose
I feel like I've been used to help you through another night
You spelled it out in black and white
[Chorus]
The tides that once had carried you away
They bring you back today
The time has washed away my pain
I find that things have changed and disappeared without a trace
You can't get back what you've erased
And I say
[Chorus]
