Forgot How To Love

Yesterday’s a memory and forever gone There’s been so much hurt and maybe I’m wrong 
But we haven’t been happy for so many years It hurts, but I’m now realizing my fears. It’s 
time for us to part, time to say good-bye We can’t change things now even if we try We don’t 
talk about our problems, worries or doubts I’ve tried to tell you but you always shut be out. 
We forgot how to love, forgot how to share Treated each other like we didn’t care Forgot 
the compliments, the little things in life, Forgot how to treat each other like husband and wife. 
It’s hard to say good-bye after so many years We both deserve happiness, not sadness 
and tears The kids are grown, soon we’ll be left here alone We can’t go on like this with little 
love ever shown We have nothing in common, not much to say We’re more like strangers 
now, not like our yesterday Hurt feelings and resentments pulled us apart Words won’t help 
now, we both need a new start. I wish you happiness, love, a purpose in life I’ll never regret 
loving you or being your wife It’s time to move on, time for us to part Find happiness again 
and make a new start.
