I am a modern man I lead an ordered life This sickness doesn't fit within my restrictions I am an empty shell Of what I could have been I've become this at someone else's insistence And how should I reply If that's where my faith lies I am ashamed to even claim its existence There is no answer to The question that haunts you I wish for nothing and just take what is given That's living It's the way that it's been ever since the beginning If I ever fell in love, was it love? Or was it something else that felt a little more vacant? If I ever fell in love, was it love? Or was it something else that felt a little more vacant? I am a modern man And I need a modern girl who will understand I am a modern man And I need a modern girl who will understand One day the man of the house won't be holding the roof up One day your hands will be stained by the pain of your true love One day your daughters and sons will just be the remains of One day you'll wish you were dreaming and that you could wake up Give up the hope Baby I remember when you and I were only friends And we didn't know a better way to say I love you then Maybe that's the way it is for now Don't feel let down about it 'cause you know It will be good for us again Give up the hope That life is a series of feelings exploding You're missing the point 'cause you're hoping For something more But what we have is what everyone's dying for So no more songs No more favorites No more future No more blame This is the end of your life This is the end of your life It's all that you've done All that you get This is the end Don't you spend regretting the time you've already misspent The angels, like fultures, descend crying ah-ah-ha-ah Give up the hope It feels like I'm slipping, I'm slipping, I'm slipping I'm slipping away Your voice keeps on drifting out further and further And further away It feels like I'm slipping, I'm slipping, I'm slipping I'm slipping away Your voice keeps on drifting out further and further Don't leave me this way
