The Business Of Getting Old

It's not easy to get old 
You must learn not to expect anything 
From anyone, to walk alone
Waking up alone, eat alone
And accepting that everything comes to an end
So is life, it's fleeting, not to grasp a little
Know how to say goodbye 
To those who are leaving 
Remember them and cry for them 
Until you are empty inside 
To leave room for new smiles 
To form other illusions and new longings
If we had another chance to live our lives again 
We would do everything we didn't dared to do 
Doing the things that which is right
But life is reality as I open my eyes
Time is not coming back
Growing up is a choice
All people get old if they live long enough
But not all people mature 
No matter how long they live.
