Everybody knows the story,
They've got the details, what the score is,
But if you want the truth, girl,

You made need more than a day

You need to move just a little closer
These walls have ears if you didn't know, girl,
There's certain things that you need to know
Before you go on your way

It seems the world is a little busy,
Selling lives on for a living,
But in a blinking off an eye,
The truth has slipped way,
And the writing's written on the wall
For everyone to see...

It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone
The legacy love leaves behind was never easy, never kind
It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone
The legacy love leaves behind was never one to mind

Moving on to the next installment,
In case the bar room jury dies of boredom,
The vultures are all waiting,
For the next meal of the day

Another tale that's sad and sorry,
'bout another love that went so wrong,
And on the inside guts and glory
That pushed it all along

It's hard to find the words to say,
You just let the days go by, come what may,
All the things that we should've done,
That just happened anyway,
And the writing's written on the wall
For everyone to see...

It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone
The legacy love leaves behind was never easy, never kind
It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone
The legacy love leaves behind was never one to mind

It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone
The legacy love leaves behind was never easy, never kind
It lives on even though you think it's dead and gone
The legacy love leaves behind was never one to mind
