Lyrics
Well I heard, yeah the word was everything worked out ok,
Everything you wanted you got.
Well that?s wonderful, I wondered if you?d notice when it came,
If you?d see it or not.
Cause you?re so much older now,
And it might not feel the same.
You know just what you have, when you have to let go,
And you?re holding your last.
I hope you?ll understand, be happy to know,
It wasn?t going to last.
I hear you working now, you?re searching yeah you?re looking
For a way to get rid of it all.
Well that?s perfect, it wasn?t worth it, you waited for today,
To say you?re peace and move on.
We?ve all been here before,
Doesn?t quite feel the same.
You know just what you have, when you have to let go,
And you?re holding your last.
I know you?ll understand, and be happy to know,
It wasn?t going to last.
