Retrospective

I could have held you and kept you from falling I could have been by your side We had it all, but it wasn't enough I could have swallowed my pride There was so much I could have done There were so many signs I never took the time to know you I never read tween the lines Now that it's over and we've gone our ways Now that the knot is untied I still get up in the middle of my dreams Don't know how often I've cried There was a time I put you before All of my plans and my schemes Then I gave it up selling my soul Along with all of my dreams Now I am here, living alone I never dreamed we would part You gave me some of my most cherished memories I gave you a piece of my heart.
