Lyrics

It's the man that you love as he falls to his knees And the girl that you trust who just wants to please It's the nights you lay silent and the days you just stared at the sky It's the sound of a gunshot on a dark city street And the dreams you remember between empty sheets But it's something much sadder, and somehow much worse for your soul This is not rock and roll It's the big stained glass window at an old fashioned church And the brick that flew threw it in your own faithless search It's the bad news for you that you already knew in your heart It's the time that you spend getting over yourself And the last longneck bottle alone on the shelf But it's always behind us and it waits to unwind both our souls This is not rock and roll Oh, days gone by Oh, tender lies Those tears we cry Our sacred eyes It's the moment you asked what don't want to know And the feeling of emptiness after the show Every second that passes before you remember to breathe It's the final farewell to a part of your past Or the same old mistakes with a half-hearted laugh But it's something much sadder, and certainly worse for your soul This is not rock and roll
