Was there really anything between us
I would like to know—think I need to know
Answered by this searching to find history
to make a peace with thee
then I’ll let it go
I’m better on my own
I said let’s be friends you said “then we’re enemies”
How can that be so—know I need to know
I was taken and you were calling out to me
I fell for thee
Could not let go
We’re better on our own
Living in the shadows of a world I’ve come to own
Lately it’s been pulling at my sleeves
Watching cars rush by me in the striped no passing zones
While I slow to observe the falling leaves
Seasons wander by as children play their games
Waiting to be told—they need the stories told
You are taking time write your fairytales
Hope your words won’t fail
Don’t let them go
When the days grow dark and we are weary
Would you like to know—do you want to know?
If I’m happy and I ever think of you
Did you love me true
Just let it go
