lyrics

This time last week there was a light
At the end of the tunnel, burning bright
Hoping it just might lead me far
I followed it like a guiding star
Oh, I followed it like a guiding star

But it led me on and it left me burned
Another bitter lesson learned
The same one I learned a thousand times
Life can be cruel as well as kind
Yes, life can be cruel as well as kind

Will I ever find what I'm searching for?
It's always hard work and no reward
And every time it hurts a little more
Than the time before

There was a time I had a dream
But now that dream has gone from me
And tomorrow has become today
And I'm always amazed
How much things can change
In seven little days, oh no
Seven little days

This time last week I met a girl
Pretty soon she became my world
I fell for her and she for me
But I had a surprise in store for me
Yes, I had a surprise in store for me

She wasn't what I thought she was
And it was all my fault because
I was chasing a fantasy
I only saw what I wanted to see
Yes, I only saw what I wanted to see

And so the dream died, soon as it'd begun
We had some good times – yeah, it was fun
But now it's all just a memory
And I'm stuck back in square one

There was a time I had a dream
But now that dream is gone from me
And tomorrow has become today
I had a plan, a wish, a goal
Now all I see is open road
With no one to guide the way
And I'm always amazed
How much things can change
In seven little days, oh no
Seven little days

I think the reason why I'm so naïve
And why I fool myself
Is when I see these things, I like to believe
They're the path's way of slowly revealing itself
