words and music by Jonathan Ochshorn (copyright 2010 J. Ochshorn)

1. something’s wrong
seems like you’ve been crying too long
don’t ask me i don’t have a clue
there’s nothing to explain

i don’t know
maybe it’s just the way things go
there’s little else that i can do
i can’t take away your pain

[chorus] so long is all i can say
now that it’s over
so long there ain’t no other way
there ain’t no other way

2. nothing’s right
everything we say seems trite
your smile has given way to sorrow
blue skies have turned grey

i can’t tell
maybe we should scream and yell
but the sun will rise again tomorrow
and i’ll still be on my way [chorus]

[instrumental half verse] [chorus]

[bridge] stay strong
nothing can remain
so bleak so long

3. dry your tears
wipe away those foolish fears
cause something’s happening tonight
to set your spirit free

nothing’s changed
maybe just a few things have been rearranged
there’ll be someone to hold you tight
it just won’t be me [chorus][chorus]
