I look in the mirror at an unknown face
Worn, aged, features seem out of place
How in Hell did such a young heart
Get trapped in the body of this old fart?

I can’t be that old.
Life has passed me by?
What happened to me?
Where did the time fly?

Youth sees old, wrinkled and greyed
Appearances count, of that I’m afraid.
If only they could truly see inside
The man within, not dead, not dried.

I can’t be that old.
Life has passed me by?
What happened to me?
Where did the time fly?

At this age, you’d think I’d know
Maybe my mind has started to slow
Life’s funny, sometimes cruel and so is fate
Found what you want, you found it too late

I can’t be that old.
Life has passed me by?
What happened to me?
Where did the time fly?
