What It's Like

On behalf of many formers, this song struck a nerve in my former kid star heart.

The Train Don't Stop Here Anymore
(Benny Mardones, James K. Ervin)

Oh I used to be the man
Had lots of friends and lots of fans
And the pictures on the wall say we used to have it all
Til your heart made other plans

Now my life has come and gone
I did a few too many things wrong, it's just my way
And its too late for regrets
How I hope the one you met will never sing my song

Cuz the train don't stop here anymore
It just passes in the night, oh in the night
And the street that led me to your door
It's always dark without a single light

But if I could just go back in time to when you were mine
And maybe live my life again
I'd open up the door, I'd love you like before
But the train don't stop here anymore

Late at night I stumble in
I sit and think what might have been
Cuz when you're living life too fast
True love can never last, temptation always wins, always wins

Like a ghost town in the west
Memories are all that's left, oh memories
I made all my dreams come true
How'd I end up losing you, when I had the very best

Hey, hey, hey, cuz the train don't stop here anymore
It just passes in the night
And the street that led me to your door
It's always dark without a single light

And if I could just go back in time to when you were mine
And maybe live my life again
I'd open up the door, I'd love you like before
But the train don't stop here anymore

The train don't stop here anymore
When the lonely whistle blows
Everybody knows the train don't stop here anymore

The train don't stop here anymore, not anymore
The train don't stop here anymore
