Not You

I’m staring at an empty space once occupied by your sweet face

listening to my heart beat out the rythm of alone

I’ve spent some time in hoping that you’d change your mind and you’d come bac

but it’s better for me now to live with the unknown, on my own

And I’ve wrestled with the fickle four; money, love and peace and war

but in the end it’s all the same when I close my eyes

my dreaming mind has let me know that keeping love is letting go

peace is war without the blood that dirty money buys and sells with lies

So I guess that I’ll be on my way, enchanted by a brand new day again

it’s time to get back in the flow of letting my world undergo the changes

it hurts like hell to say goodbye and let you go to take this flight alone

but I guess you’re not coming back so I’ll just let it fade to black and go

I’ve lived alone, I’ve lived in pairs, I’ve climbed up countless flights of stairs

I’ve listened to the valley from the highest point of view

and all that I was looking for in opening up every door

was something to believe in, something that rang true

but it wasn’t you

Now there’s no reason to feel bad for letting go of all we had

if it wasn’t good for you hey, I won’t bring you down

I’ll remember all we did and how we laughed like little kids

and how we turned the world into our personal playground

when you were around
