Ever since she said our love was dead
I've come to dread what lies ahead
True, I'm going to miss you
But let's not skirt the issue
From now on, everyting is gonna s**
The future ain't what it used to be
All the same things are gonna happen to me
But they're gonna turn out differently
The future ain't what it used to be
I'll still be bored by the same old stuff
Still falling short of close enough
I'm still gonna breathe air
But you're not gonna be there
Seems like a pointless exercise without you
The future ain't what it used to be
You altered the course of history
Now you're not gonna be together with me
The future ain't what it used to be
I've seen this a lot with you
Now we'll just have to wait and see
If this new kid you've got with you
Honours his big promises
Where will you be if it's too good to be true?
Start all over with a brand new groupie?
It'll be a while before I'll know where I'll be
But when I'm there, then I'm there
Try to find me, I'll get one more wish in
But there's a strong suspicion
Everything will seem a little weak
Now that the future ain't what it used to be
The future ain't what it used to be
If you're not gonna be together with me
