[Verse 1]
Activity's killing the actor
And a cop's standing out in the road
Turning traffic away
There was nothing she could do until after
When his body'd been buried below
Way back in the day

[Chorus]
Oh my, nothing else could have been done
Made his life a lie so
He might never have to know anyone
Made his life the lie you know

[Verse 2]
I told him that he shouldn't upset her (ooh)
And that he'd only be making it worse involving somebody else (ooh)
But I knew that he'd never forget her (ooh)
While her memory worked in reverse to keep her safe from herself (ooh)

[Chorus]
And oh my, nothing else could have been done
She made her life a lie so (ooh)
She might never have to know anyone
Made her life a lie you know

[Outro]
What I used to be
Will pass away and then you'll see
That all I want now
Is happiness for you and me
What I used to be
Will pass away and then you'll see
That all I want now
Is happiness for you and me
What I used to be
Will pass away and then you'll see
That all I want now
Is happiness for you and me
All I want now is happiness for you and me
