It was so many years
ago
We were both living apart
I was tired of running away
And spending my life in the dark
I tried to bring myself
closer
But you just pushed me away
One day when I came for a visit
Was the day that I decided to stay
I gave you my money and
time
You took it all just the same
I hoped you would give something back
But the only thing I took was the blame
I thought I could make
it work
I thought we could start anew
I found myself living a lie
Because I was trying to live with you
It was so many years ago
A time I had nowhere to go
I felt that I needed to grow
Into a life that I wanted to know
I bet high you were betting too low
Your cards were starting to show
You said yes but your heart said no
It was so many years ago
I know that some people change
And I always thought you could
Now I realize it was all up to me
And loving you did me no good
There’s someone else you need
Who takes what you’re willing to give
I can’t change to be in his place
‘Cause that’s not how I want to live
Today I’m a much different man
I try not to think of the past
I keep myself busy with life
And I try not to live it too fast
I got your last card in the mail
And then nothing two years in a row
I guess it was the final goodbye
And that was so many years ago.
It was so many years ago
And now I have somewhere to go
I’m finally starting to grow
Into a life that I want to know
Sometimes it’s good to bet low
And I never let my cards show
I gave you my heart but you said no
It was so many years ago
