Lyrics
I couldn't do it if I tried to.
I couldn't find it in myself to change a thing.
Perhaps I'll figure out another way to look at this.
Where I wouldn't look like such an ass.
But there's no easy way around it,
Can't change what's writen in stone.
As much as I'd like to change the way things ended up.
They say, all these things will pass.
Chorus:
Mom was right about Deanna.
The good ones always slip away.
Mom was right about Deanna
She didn't know the roll I had to play.
It took me years to see it.
It had to hit me right between the eyes
something so obvious and apparent.
To everyone but me.
Chorus:
Bridge:
A penny for your thoughts or so they say
I'd be broke, 'cause I spent them yesterday
It's funny how so much slipped away.
I thought I'd saved it for a rainy day
They say hindsight is 20/20 vision
But I'd rather be looking straight ahead
It's been !5-years,we're still friends now
And that's how it's meant to be.
Chorus:
