It's the time I spent

It's the way we went

The things you said

Weren't what you meant

'

It's the hearts that broke

It's the way we choked

The fire you stoked

That filled our lungs with smoke

'

It's the dreams that died

It's the tears you cried

The last things you said

And the ways I 'lied'

'

It's the peace of mind

It's the letters entwined

It's what you chose

Need I remind?

'

It's the feelings I hid

It's the way we slid

The lines that we left

Behind what we undid

'

It's the silence that followed

It's the souls that hollowed

When we wrote each other off

And in misery wallowed

'

It's the lies that went unforgiven

It's the words that were anger driven

The left path we chose

And the smiles that won't be given

'

It's the forgotten reply

It's the downtrodden sigh

When I turn a blind eye

Just to wish you goodbye
