There was a time whenI could make your bright eyes gleamNow smiles upon your face are few and far betweenWe were so young, naive and blind in all our prideTo see the warning, the turning of the tideAnd I guess it’s best we laid to restAll that we had and all we hope forIt’s time to close the doorStand here by my side and watch the river flowThrough fields once greenwhere our garden used to growLife goes by so fast and time waits for no oneToo long we stared into the sunNow days are growing dark and we’re too tired to runNow that we’ve lost the flame, the beauty of it allOur symmetry of souls reduced to metaphorWe live, we learn some things are impossible to doAnd still I need you more than I want toBut I guess it’s best we laid to restAll that we had and all that we hoped forIt’s time to close the doorI could’ve been worse, but I should’ve been betterShould’ve been there ’cause I said « forever »Now I’m here wondering whatShould’ve, could’ve, would’ve been andI could’ve said more ’cause the words they matterShould’ve been strong so you wouldn’t have shatteredBut I’m here wondering whatShould’ve, could’ve, would’ve beenAnd I hope he gives more than I didAll that you need and all that you hope for
