VERSE 1

You can't stay young forever

You don't get old for free
But what was I supposed to do
With all this time between

I went to see a doctor
Who takes the blues away
The doctor looked me in the eyes

And this is what she said

PRE-CHORUS


No man is ever born alone
Only a fool dies on his own

Don't say you're scared to death
'Cos that's like being terrified to live


CHORUS

On the day they judge my life

No doubt I'll be criticised
Deemed a man and fool alike
For never taking good advice


VERSE 2


So you say you're an island
And I just disagree
Speaking from experience

And based on what I've seen
You're not so much an island
As you are lost at sea

So I offer the same advice
That almost rescued me


PRE-CHORUS
No man is ever born alone
Only a fool dies on his own

Don't say you're scared to death
'Cos that's like being terrified to live


CHORUS

On the day they judge my life

No doubt I'll be criticised
Deemed a man and fool alike
For never taking good advice
