| Ever since she said our love was dead
|
| I’ve come to dread what lies ahead
|
| True, I’m going to miss you
|
| But let’s not skirt the issue
|
| From now on, everyting is gonna suck
|
| The future ain’t what it used to be
|
| All the same things are gonna happen to me
|
| But they’re gonna turn out differently
|
| The future ain’t what it used to be
|
| I’ll still be bored by the same old stuff
|
| Still falling short of close enough
|
| I’m still gonna breathe air
|
| But you’re not gonna be there
|
| Seems like a pointless exercise without you
|
| The future ain’t what it used to be
|
| You altered the course of history
|
| Now you’re not gonna be together with me
|
| The future ain’t what it used to be
|
| I’ve seen this a lot with you
|
| Now we’ll just have to wait and see
|
| If this new kid you’ve got with you
|
| Honours his big promises
|
| Where will you be if it’s too good to be true?
|
| Start all over with a brand new groupie?
|
| It’ll be a while before I’ll know where I’ll be
|
| But when I’m there, then I’m there
|
| Try to find me, I’ll get one more wish in
|
| But there’s a strong suspicion
|
| Everything will seem a little weak
|
| Now that the future ain’t what it used to be
|
| The future ain’t what it used to be
|
| If you’re not gonna be together with me |
