Gone Forever Now

I'm living in the past living in the past

Just silly enough to think love should last

Thinking this was the wrong role I was cast

I wonder how long I can last,

Just enough of a fool it seems

To live inside that passionate dream

You see at one time men and women were a team

Seems the boat capsized and washed downstream,

Everyone one obsessed with their little world

Got that meaningless flag unfurled

Her hair was straight without any curl

She was just an angry and hurt little girl,

These are the victims of life I find

Emotional wounds still plaguing my mind

All I ever needed from you was to just be kind

Too rose colored and silver lined?

Oh baby, it's all gone forever now

You made sure of that like weeding with a plow

Remembering that dissatisfied scowl

Guess I couldn't be your sacred cow,

The worst part is knowing I still care somehow

This bittersweet feeling run afoul

Living in the past when nothing lasts

Those fleeting moments and sad contrasts,

I'm living in the past living in the past

Just silly enough to think love should last

Thinking this was the wrong role I was cast

I wonder how long I can last.

Everyone so dedicated to making themselves happy

How many hearts can they break make it snappy!

But I'm living in the past just dragging that cross

Still stitching up the scars from that loss.
