When you're old enough When you've been through it You won't know what it's like You can't see things the same But you're closer now Did you close your eyes? Did I close them first? You weren't strong enough I'm no stronger than you But the years take their toll on us all I'm starting to see why you drifted away after all And no one explains to you Where the things go that you love 'til they'e already gone You held on for us The house gathered dust We were selfish then And we held on to things But they're all gone now Did i take too long? Did i ask too much? I didn't love you as much as i could The silence is killing me now I'm starting to see why you drifted away after all And no one explains to you Where the things go that you love How many times will i try to pretend that you're here? And i had a few questions i never got to ask you in time Cause you'd already gone
