You would think by now, I would know my way around

I shouldn't miss you so badly, I should be on familiar ground

How many more lonely years, must meander by

until I learn the lesson

It does no good to cry

What manner of iron will, must some people possess

to be always looking forward, to never accept regress

Perhaps if I was willing, to have someone take me by the hand

they could show me a happy place in this unfamiliar land

Perhaps I'm only homesick, for all the joys that once where mine

I must accept that they, and you, belong to some other place and time

But I know that deep within my heart, there's a place where only you reside

and when the pain of loneliness comes, it knows that is where I hide

So if sometimes it seems to you that I'm clinging to the past

it's mostly because I can't yet accept that our love didn't last

No matter how hard I try, I've yet to get over you

for the part of me that's still alive, believes you love me too

Maybe there will come a day, when that part will finally die

and feeling strong with a heart reborn, a new love I will finally try.
