Long Ago

Yes of course there’s always choice
On the paths that we will take
So we can only blame ourselves
For the mistakes that we might make

They say in life you can only learn
From times when you have failed
Although when this repeats itself
You're blind to what that entailed

I wish I shared your same outlook
And am able to just move on
Where I no longer live in my past
To a life which now has gone

Maybe I'm just a bit confused
How easily you walked away
And the years we shared together
Had no hold under his sway

I'm sorry but it will take me time
Before I can let you go
I've no idea why since you left
My love endures to grow

I always reach the same conclusion
That love never seems to last
The only time I am truly happy
Is when I'm living in my past
