[Verse 1]
Illusion was the name
Of every single game
Now, they've all disappeared from my view
Yes, they’ve all disappeared
As my time does grow near
But I hope that I'll remember you
[Chorus]
For when it all melts away
It was never meant to stay
And I need you
Just to carry me back home
[Verse 2]
All of the years
All of the laughter and tears
How it seemed they were traded in vain
But somehow I know
There's a place where I will go
Where I’ll find all my life there contained
[Chorus]
For when it all melts away
It was never meant to stay
And I need you
Just to carry me back home
[Verse 3]
Well now, old friend
Have we really reached the end?
Is there nothing left for us to say or do?
Have we shared our last cry?
Have we told our last lie?
And by the way, have I forgiven you?
[Chorus]
For when it all melts away
It was never meant to stay
And I need you
Just to carry me back home
[Chorus]
For when it all melts away
It was never meant to stay
And I need you
Just to carry me back home
