They are long gone, far away Yesterday upon the stairs, I met a man who wasn't there He wasn't there again today. I wish, I wish he'd go away Please forgive me for the choices that I've made I never thought they could affect us this way I can still feel that child inside, trying to break free But there is no way out, you can never leave Yesterday upon the stairs, I met a man who wasn't there He wasn't there again today. I wish, I wish he'd go away It is just like a shadow from a distant past Captured in time where everything was divine I would give everything to give you your life back But 20 years have past, 20 years of pain Last night I saw upon the stairs, a little man who wasn't there He wasn't there again today Oh how I wish he would have stayed
