Getting Old Songtext
von Tim Steinfort

I must be strong and carry on
No one stays forever young
One given chance to beat its way
Is gone out at a moment rate
No surprise, no mystery
Looking back in history
′Cause nothing's what it used to be
Compared to all the memories
When I′m mentally and physically
Half the man that I once used to be

When my glory days are history
And I can't wait to die
Just let me be, just let me be


I'm not afraid to die
But I′m afraid of getting old
I′m not afraid to cry
When memories are being told
I'm not afraid to die
I′m not afraid to cry
But I'm afraid, I′m so afraid
Of getting old

No reasons to carry on
Now that everyone is gone
Having no one to caress
Longing to relive the past
Pictures hanging on the wall
Nostalgia will make you fall
You ain't got tears left to cry
But you feel the loss as time goes by
I′m half the man I used to be
The mirror doesn't lie, just look and see

When my glory days are history
And I can't wait to die
Just let me be, just let me be


I′m not afraid to die
But I′m afraid of getting old
I'm not afraid to cry
When memories are being told
I′m not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to cry
But I′m afraid, I'm so afraid
Of getting old

The ticking of the clock is getting louder every day
It makes no sense to fear what′s gonna happen anyway
I cannot stop these tears from falling down, I can't try
What's on the final pages of my life

I′m not afraid to die
But I′m afraid of getting old
I'm not afraid to cry
When memories are being told
I′m not afraid to die
I'm not afraid to cry
But I′m afraid, I'm so afraid

I′m not afraid to die
But I'm afraid of getting old
I'm not afraid to cry
When memories are being told
I′m not afraid to die
I′m not afraid to cry
But I'm afraid, I′m so afraid
Of getting old
