I haven't seen you for so long

Remembering those years we lived

And it was always easy

We never gave it that much thought

Then you noticed my own fears

Then it was over

Now I see you here



Well some things don't last forever

I won't pretend

How hard was it to leave your closest friend?

You grew up way too fast

And I never did

What have we learned

Through all the years since then?



I felt that all it took was trust

Another victim of ideals

No more inside but you could see this

You never hid me from your thoughts

I made believe to hear

Held the blame I know I let you go



But some things don't last forever

I won't pretend

How hard was it to leave your closest friend?

You grew up way too fast

And I never did

What have we learned

Through all the years since then?



But life will not wait up

Still I'm left here thinking

I have learned enough

Can I set down the past?

Ignore what did not last?

Will you?



I haven't seen you for so long

Remembering those years we lived

And it was always easy

I'm tired of always looking back

I've given you my years

My life goes on

So it's goodbye my dear



Some things don't last forever

I won't pretend

How hard was it to leave your closest friend?

You grew up way too fast

And I never did

What have we learned

Through all the years since then?
