Lyrics and music: M.Lindblom, A.Wollbeck
When the shouting stops
And the tears are dry
When you did everything
That you thought was right
When the debt you owe
Really starts to show
And everyone around knows
There's a good thing slipping away
There's a would have been that should have stayed
My head is strong
But the feeling's gone
I just can't be afraid
So I'll take it on
Even if I'm wrong
I still won't be ashamed
There's a good thing slipping
But a good thing coming my way
I laid myself in a bed of trouble
Way down low
There's a hole in the garden now
Where flowers used to grow
When the door is closed
Everybody knows
A window's flying open somewhere
There's a good thing slipping away
There's a would have been that should have stayed
My head is strong
But the feeling's gone
I just can't be afraid
So I'll take it on
Even if I'm wrong
I still won't be ashamed
There's a good thing slipping
But a good thing coming my way
So much time to regret
So much pain to forget
Don't even ask me to say it's not fair
For you to stay
Never wanted to pray
Instead of living my life
