Don't let it just happen

Don't let it just happen
Don't let it turn you around
Don't let it tear you apart
or let it get you down
Don't give up so easily
Don't ignore that fading sound
Before you know it's true
It's just a memory in your heart

Too much livin
Without a second thought
Too little givin
Except to get what I have got
Too soon quittin
Before the real startin starts
Too many players
And never enough parts
And nothing left of you
But this memory in my heart

Though I seem alright
You might look one more time
And you'll see that inside
Nothing is looking fine
So if you can,
Stop this train before it starts
and leaves nothing for you
But a memory in your heart

Too much thinking
Without any real thought
Too much shopping
With nothing valuable bought
Too many endings
And only one place to start
And nothing left of you
But this memory in my heart

Though I seem alright
You might look one more time
And you'll see that inside
Nothing is looking fine
So if you can,
Stop this train before it starts
and leaves nothing for you
But a memory in your heart
