[Verse 1]
Nobody tells you what to expect,
When you're the last one standing, feeling out of check.
Outliving your peers, it can feel like a test,
With echoes of laughter, now a distant jest.
They say that wisdom comes with age and tears,
But the mirror shows a face of fading years.
Your gait's a little slower, each step a dance,
With those aches and pains, there's no second chance.

[Chorus]
Nobody tells you what to expect,
It's probably good, not a thing to reflect.
People say it's great, to grow old and wise,
But they don't see the shadows in your eyes.
Each day feels like a door that's lost its key,
You search for the opening, but it's hard to be free.

[Verse 2]
Your mind wanders slowly, like a fading dream,
Thoughts take their time, it's a longer stream.
With friends long gone, now faces are blurred,
There's nobody left to share those sweet words.
Every table set for one is hard to fill,
While the memories linger, it's a bitter pill.
Feeding on moments that were in the past,
Even chewing your food is a difficult repast.

[Chorus]
Nobody tells you what to expect,
It's probably good, not a thing to reflect.
People say it's great, to grow old and wise,
But they don't see the shadows in your eyes.
Each day feels like a door that's lost its key,
You search for the opening, but it's hard to be free.


[Outro]
A time to live and a time to die,
You don't pick your time
Maybe you wonder if you defied fate
Maybe you wonder if you lived too late.
