From a Long Time Ago

Have you taken a good long look in lately at yourself in the mirror
Do you see your life, as it is now, any kind of clearer
Are you still wishing she could, to you, be nearer

Break down and call
What makes you think she don't still love you through it all
Love is up one minute, but sometimes in the next it has been known to fall

How will you know for certain how she feels if you don't even try
Or do you want to be left her forever more trying to answer why
Regets hit hard and they will run so extremely deep, life passes you by in the blink of an eye

Will you let go off your fears and embrace her, the one you know you have always loved
And you know all to well she is the one you are constantly thinking of
Just maybe she see you as someone sent to her from the heavens' above

Look closely, there is a crack in the mirror but don't you dare close your eyes
Even if it's easier to turn away than to take that look inside
With life and the truth you need, it's never to late to try

Be true to her, but most of all be true to yourself don't let her again pass on by
You could make each other happy where each of your lives have gone awry
Stop thinking about just how many tears she may have cried

She's stronger now than you know
Open your heart again and let that love for her once again flow
And that much, to yourselves, you each owe

Just let go
Just let it show
It's been meant to be now as it started from a long time ago
