YEARS GO BY

 

YEARS GO BY

 

The years go by as I live my life, joy fills my heart, me,

as I think of you, of the times we had and the bands we saw.

Now you’re gone, pain fills my head, me, as I realise that you

were the one, not any more. Contrasting emotions and images

welling up inside me, confusing my brain as another failed encounter

fills my being, taking me to the depths.

Can we still be friends without the devastating pain destroying even that?

We had something and we let it all slip away, to nothing.

I’ve been from girl to girl, cant break the habit wanting them to be you.

You met Mr Wrong to fill the gap left by me,

he gives you security but do you miss being in love?
