[Verse 1]
I cannot stay long, with a sudden exhalation
A quivering leaf in the sun and a heartfelt obsession

[Chorus]
We were never young
We were never strong
It's of so little consequence that you forgive me now
Now that I'm gone

[Verse 2]
The heat is gone
I've only got so far that I can fall
None of it will be remembered
None of it deserves any recollection, after all

[Chorus]
Wе were nevеr young
We were never strong
It's of so little consequence that you forgive me now
Now that I'm gone
We were never young
We were never strong
It's of so little consequence that you forgive me now
Now that I'm gone

[Bridge]
Where was there left to go?
But to dance about in our decay?
Where was there left to go?
Much to our reciprocal dismay

[Refrain]
Now that I'm gone, you're free
Now that I'm gone, you're free
Now that I'm gone, you're free
Now that I'm gone, you're free
