  • Sorrow - for letting someone else
    Define you know who you are at every age
    What impression am I making?
    I see me as other people see me

    There is no going back
    I can't stop feeling now
    I am not the same, I'm growing up again (x2)
    There's no going back, I can't stop feeling now

    I had to fantasize
    I was a princess, mum and dad were queen and king
    I ought to have what feeling?
    I see me as other people see me

    There is no going back, I can't stop feeling now
    I am not the same, I'm growing up again (x2)
    There's no going back, I can't stop feeling now
    Feeling now

    There is no going back, I can't stop feeling now
    I am not the same, I'm growing up again (x2)
    There's no going back, I can't stop feeling now
    I had to fantasize

    Just to survive
    I was a famous artist everybody took me seriously
    Even those who did
    Never understood me
    I had to fantasize just to survive Writer/s: Elizabeth Fraser, Robin Guthrie, Simon Raymonde

  • Kees Van Lieshout. from Boxtel, The Netherlands.My favorite track of the Calender album. While searching for lyrics usuable for a painting on canvas, for my livingroom, this song came to mind. Aware of the troubles between Elisabeth and Guthrie i always thought that she sang "i can't stop feeling down". To me it made sense. Now, i am a little disapointed for knowing.And yes Elisabeth was right; don't explain, be mystical and let the listner use his/her imagination. And complements for the video. Made me fall in love with Elisabeth for the first time. Never before saw her that way.
