You know everyday I walk down memory lane Trying to find a way past the same old pain Ah you know, but now the message is loud and it's clear There ain't no way to get there from here Yeah I've finally realized that's the way things are I got the bleeding stopped but there's gonna be a scar I know I'll go on living but you're always gonna be around Deep down, deep down Well, I know an old soldier who walks with a limp From a war he's still fightin' inside of him And just like me he'll go to his grave Nursin' a pain that won't go away Yeah I've finally realized that's the way things are I got the bleeding stopped but there's gonna be a scar I know I'll go on living but you're always gonna be around Deep down, deep down Maybe I really don't wanna be through With all the memories I have of you We had some bad times but we had good times too Yeah I've finally realized that's the way things are I got the bleeding stopped but there's gonna be a scar I know I'll go on living but you're always gonna be around Deep down, deep down You'll always be around Deep down
