lyrics

I smell a memory upon the breeze; it makes me feel like I am home
If I could find it now I’d turn around, follow it back where it came from
You have your friends to help you through the hard time when you’re only feeling low
But times like these it seems to me you simply have to find yourself alone

Jealousy ain’t worth a damn to me you see we all get second chances
To get all that we want and probably there’ll be a couple more romances
What we had was beautiful and I’ll always have a special place for you
But I have to rely on myself now. It’s getting easier to do
It’s growing with every year and now the truth is coming clear that

All I’ve seen. And What I’ve done. We’ll see it all pass in time.
It may seem that everybody’s found their happiness beyond your door.
But you can’t live comparative, so stand with your own feet upon the floor.
You’ll rush to find the finish line but all you’ll see is the familiar reality
That you need some consistency; you cheat yourself by changing your life constantly

How’s my life gone on so far? It feels like everything has come apart
And there’s a sadness sinking in so deep I can’t tell where it ends and where I start
The weight of your mistakes will drag you down unless you learn to let them go
And it’s time you recognize that you’re not perfect but you’re better than you know
It’s growing with every year and now the truth is coming clear that

All I’ve felt, and all I’ve learned, we’ll see it all pass in time.

When you get too aggravated
You become the anger that you’ve hated
When you’re complaining and you’re fighting
It’s only yourself you’re stifling
Its self-destructive Instigating, Can’t you see the time you’re wasting so
If you don’t like the life you’re living, turn it into something different
‘Cause memories they seem so fleeting but present time is faster even and
You and I will meet again sometime
but not tonight…tonight
