no one ever told me
how tough it would have been
to walk away from love
and to begin again
I think they failed to mention
how much I'd miss and regret
all the great moments of our past
that I could never forget
how far away the past is
when not that far from sight
for I could only relive every moment
when I've drifted for the night
no one ever told me
that I'd miss the way you hold me
and oh how your perspective changes
when the past and present rearranges
they forgot to tell me where to go
once I realized I don't know
when I let my pride go astray
and I stopped philosophizing
when your eyes were what I took for granted
oh so mesmerizing
I know I was never told
that I wasn't ready to grow old
and they let me do what I could
which was too much to drag
and they knew that I would
naive of this emotional lag
I don't think they ever told me
that love would once disown me
and if they told me that even happiness
is libel to fall apart
I would have gave up playing
before the game could start
