Miss the times when we were younger
and the love we did invest
and of all the love I kicked around
I thought ours was the best.
But I was never there for you
and it drew us far from close.
I was in sales and tellin tales
and drinkin patron's toasts.
I showed no favor for your choice
and you spent your time alone,
now you're gone and time moves on
I know I did you wrong.
Chorus:
All the good times I could find
took me far away from you
and left you trapped inside
while I was seeking dues.
Now my lonely heart and mind
roam round this empty soul
and the lesson lingers overtime
and I'm wishin you were home.
I call you in the early morning
to draw the past to mind.
A brave new me, a change complete,
I offer to your mind.
You talk to me and my heart flips,
I beg you back again.
A concerned woman you see me
and I can't seem to win.
It's plain and simple who's to fault
and your worries shake me off
but you turn heartache into hoping
and I'm glad to hear you talk.
Chorus rep:
Through all the years you held my name
and stated your place with style
and in the stress you'd address
the absence of my smile.
But your hopes went sadly thin
I destroyed your cause.
I didn't see your needs then
I sought my own applause.
Your love finally turned to ice
it took a long long time.
Now I live with the sacrifice
of pushing you from my mind.
Bridge:
I remember our first home
a simple captured thrill.
and our driven dreams where the future gleams
with the needs that all must fill
and the late nights laying back
talking after love
and the fire there that burnt the air
was the flame of all first loves.
Now I've turned to other means
you say your heart wont mend.
So I push on into somewhere
and I call you now and then.
But when it's very late at night
and I turn to share your soul.
I cry softly to myself
while another plays your role.
So the good times ruined my time
and I know I'm still alone
beneath the scars I need your heart
and I'm wishin you were home.
