Time goes on and on and doesn't really care
That we were left behind on the bottom stair
Of the staircase of our lives where we were made to stop
Without having the chance to ever reach the top

Chorus:
And I don't really know what causes me more hurt
The memories that are, or the dreams that never were

I keep looking back to how things used to be
And all the things we planned and you know I just can't see
How things could have gone so wrong, you know it isn't fair
But time goes on and on, and doesn't really care

Chorus:
And I don't really know what causes me more hurt
The memories that are, or the dreams that never were

And when my time is done I'll look into my past
And think of all the dreams that never had a chance
And I'll wonder once again why love was so unfair
But time went on and on and never really cared

Chorus:
And I don't really know what causes me more hurt
The memories that are, or the dreams that never were
