Hasse Fröberg Musical Companion - Pages Lyrics

Pictures on the wall
A map of your life
Here´s your smiling face again
Your heart of gold
You never stood back
Photos of a life gone by

For some reason the clouds turned all grey
I can´t understand it even to this day
It was like your spirit faded away
Leaving me speechless

Born in another time
So different from now
A whole life in front of you
Early you left home
Never afraid
Embraced life in a loving way

For some reason the clouds turned all grey
I can´t understand it even to this day
It was like your spirit faded away
Leaving me speechless

I wish that I had known
Not that it would change anything at all
What started off so good so many years ago
Took another turn
Looking at the past trying to get a hint
Where it all went wrong
To me the perfect life you came across
So good somehow, I misunderstood
So many pages left to turn
So many chapters still to learn

You sat in the front seat of the rollercoaster
That we all call life
The book that you wrote completely on your own
On your way to the sky
We´re turning pages

At the end of the day
The world that you created
Became your universe
I wasn´t welcome anymore
When you needed me the most
You let nobody in
Denial, shame, and guilt
The fortress that you built
I couldn´t tear it down

So many pages left to turn
So many chapters still to learn
You sat in the front seat of the rollercoaster
That we all call life
The book that you wrote completely on your own
On your way to the sky
We´re turning pages

Make a stand make a real decision
Don´t bury yourself alive
Take a chance make it your religion

Died a little with you day by day
Be true to yourself
Tried to make you find another way
Don´t build up a fence
So vulnerable and pale never loved you more
In the wake of the morning light
Inevitable you´ve reached the end
I hope you´re staying at a better place
Your life wasn´t meant to end this way

Another glass will not bring back your youth
Move towards clarity
One more drink will not change the truth
Choose to believe
The tears you never showed
I cried them all
On your way to eternity
If you only could receive all our love
I hope you´re staying at a better place
Open your eyes
Your life wasn´t meant to end this may

I wish that I had known
Not that it would change anything at all
What started off so good so many years ago
Took another turn
Denial, shame, and guilt
The fortress that you built
I couldn´t tear it down
So many pages left to turn
So many chapters still to learn

You sat in the front seat of the rollercoaster
That we all call life
The book that you wrote completely on your own
On your way to the sky
We´re turning pages
