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?
