another life 2026

Barry Manilow

Disconnected, solitary
Standing all alone
Complicated, arbitrary
My feelings still don t feel my own

Now you ve changed your mind
You reach out once again
But how am I to tell you
I m not who I was, back then

That was another life
Simply another life
And baby it s all gone

Don t you see the past is past
That some things just aren t made to last
No point in holding on
To another life

Desolated, disbelieving
I watched you walk away
You made your mind up
You didn t need me
No words could ever make you want to stay

Now I hear you tell me
My heart s as hard as steel
But I would never hurt you
Just to show you how, it feels

That was another life
Simply another life
And baby it s all gone

Don t you see the past is past
And some things just aren t made to last
No point in holding on
To another life

Close your eyes
Let it rest
Tell me you will be OK
You ve got to look ahead
It s for the best
Let me slip away
That was another life
Simply another life
And baby it s all gone

Don t you see the past is past
That some things just aren t made to last
No point in holding on
To another life
Let me slip away
