Everybody knows the story They've got the details, what the score is But if you want the truth, girl You may need more than a day
You need to move just a little closer These walls have ears if you didn't know, girl There're certain things that you need to know Before you go on your way
It seems the world is a little busy Selling lies on for a living That in a blinking of an eye The truth has slipped away
And the writings on the wall
It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone The legacy love leaves behinds was never easy, never kind It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone The legacy love leaves behinds was never one to mind
Moving on to the next installment Case the bar room jury dies of boredom For the next meal of the day
Another tale that's sad and sorry And another love that went so wrong And all the inside guts and glory
It's hard to find the word to say You just let the days go by, come what may All the things that we should have done
And the writing written on the wall
It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone The legacy love leaves behinds was never easy, never kind It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone The legacy love leaves behinds was never one to mind
It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone The legacy love leaves behinds was never easy, never kind It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone The legacy love leaves behinds was never one to mind
