I for once looked back
I said to myself I'll get lost
I won't be coming back

That's the way life is and how can you change it
Some laugh and others cry indeed
That's the way life is and how can you unwrite it
How can you unwrite it with pencil and paper

Hold my hand hold my biterness
Hold your heart until the morning comes
And you should remember before you go
I shall give you a red carnation and a sweet kiss

And you should remember before you go
I shall give you a red carnation and a sweet kiss

I for once I said I'll go
So I can escape all the longings

That's the way life is and how can you change it
Some laugh and others cry indeed
That's the way life is and how can you unwrite it
How can you unwrite it with pencil and paper

How can you unwrite it with pencil and paper
How can you unwrite it with pencil and paper
