“Don’t
Ask me to stay
I’m moving on, and I can’t slow down
Don’t
Expect me to wait
I’ve done too much of that, among other things”
Were the last words I said before I left
So I’m packing my bags and I’m taking the car
As the last of my tears flow down my face
And I don’t wanna see you in my rearview mirror
Cause like writings in the sand, as the tide comes in
And like my tears in the rain, they get lost…
So don’t expect me to cry
That has already been done
Don’t think I’ll turn back
I’ve come too far to do that now
So understand, understand when I say goodbye
I mean it, goodbye…
Fifteen short years later I see you at the corner street
I stopped dead in my tracks, as my heart skipped a beat
All the old feelings came flowing back, oh what a rush
Your eyes lock on to mine as you cross the street
What to say, what to feel, what to do, I guess it’s too late now
You said “hi, how are you, you look good”
As I smile back and ask you how you’ve been
Fifteen years have aged you quite a bit, I said
As you smile back and say “fifteen years on,
And you still look like the day I fell in love with you….”
And no
I won’t ask you to stay
I know you’ve moved on and so have I
But no
I’ve not stopped waiting for you and I never will
Like I’ve never stopped loving you…
But don’t expect me to cry
That has already been done
Don’t think I’ll turn back
I’ve come too far to do that now
So understand, understand when I say goodbye
Though I hate it, I mean it, goodbye…
And as you turned and walked away my tears start flowing down
Cause like writings in the sand, after the tide came in
Just like the past it gets washed away
And we get to write something new
