lyrics

I Keep waiting for a Love, a Love that never comes
A Love that ended long ago, for me she’s still the one
I imagine that she never, ever thinks of me that way
Or thinks of me at all, in her busy busy day.

An ocean breeze through her hair, we sat down on the beach
Both knowing that the end was near, and soon within our reach
And so we both agreed, and walked those thousand steps
Back up to the roadside, said goodbye then left

And even in that moment, so very long ago
I reasoned if you love someone, you have to let them go
Let Them go

I remember as a child, my broken broken home
I thought that’s just what happens, we all end up alone
End Up Alone, End Up Alone
And so what’s done is gone, you just can’t change the past
Be strong and face the future, find new Love that will last

But part of me remembers, her soft and gentle voice
Her laughter and her smile, she leaves me with no choice
No choice but to Love her, but in a different way
A Love that is a friendship, a Love that’s here to stay
