So I sit here writing words in our old place 
They all come out as letters 
And I contemplate mistakes that we all make 
Start and the ending of eras 
When mystery fades 
We identify the problems 
But, they may not be problems after all [Pre-Chorus] 
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say 
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues '
Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway... [Chorus] 
And I can't let it bother me 
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life 
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously? 
So I sit here carving words into the wall 
Words that remind me of just how 
I was I never felt as old and lonely as 
I felt When 
I was young and in love 
When mystery fades 
We identify the problems 
But, they may not be problems after all [Pre-Chorus] 
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say 
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues '
Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway... [Chorus] 
And I can't let it bother me 
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life 
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously? 
Can't let it bother me 
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life 
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously? 
Too seriously, 
Too seriously...
