Her Name Had To Clear
Her Name Had To Clear
I am certain I can get by without you
But to say I want to would not be true
Even if moments and minutes so few
Still forever I have been feeling blue.
Why should I want to struggle on?
You may not be here and have gone
Cannot deny knowing I will get by
No matter how desperate or hard I try.
All went by becoming part of the past
Deep Into oblivion my soul did caste
Knowing that she will no longer be here
From off my list her name had to clear.
