Any day now

Any day now,
someone's going to ask you,
"Who was the fool that let you go?"

And then, you'll be saying
the things we told each other
long ago...

Any day now,
someone else's arms will be holding you.
Any day now,
someone else's lips will be kissing you.
Any day now,
I'll be just a memory to you.

We both know it,
there's no point in saying it isn't so.
You'll be doing
the same as long ago.
You'll forget all about
the love you had before.

And I'll be doing
the very same thing as you.
I'll be telling
someone else the things that I told you.
We both know it,
there's no point in saying it isn't true.

But at this moment
I really don't know how to feel.
But I can tell you
that nothing seems real.
And my emotions
are out of my control.

I sit here wondering
what this life is all about.
What's the point?
Am I missing out?
On something...
that would make it clear to me?

We ride the wheel,
watch our hearts go round and round.
We walk the rope,
without a net to break our fall.
We take our chances
and hope for the best.

And every time,
we think that we are in control.
We believe -
oh, this time it's for sure...
And maybe one day,
it will be so.

But more often,
we're just shooting in the dark.
We have no aim,
and we miss the mark...
We take our chances
and hope for the best.

Any day now
we'll start to believe
someone else
when they say they'll never leave.
We both know it,
there's no point in saying it couldn't be.

But at this moment,
it's really getting to me.
Because those words
are the ones you said to me.
And my emotions
are out of my control.

Any day now,
someone else's arms will be holding you.
Any day now,
someone else's lips will be kissing you.
Any day now,
I'll be doing the same as you.

We both know it,
there's no point in saying it isn't so.
We'll be doing
the same as long ago.
We'll forget all about
the love we had before.
