A Long, Long, Long Time Ago

Forgetting your past is a way of healing inside, but it is not recommended.

I’m sad but you know, I’m better off without you.
I hold no ill will, its for the best for us both.
Many years have passed. Our relationship is dead on arrival.
Do you even remember me? My heart and my longing?
So now that we’re free, are you elated by your choices?
I’m happy to have finally healed.

The love you gave me was false and short lived.
Have you been able to move forward in life? Yes?
I don’t bother thinking of you.
Our past life together wasn’t simple.
When you made your choice.
You hurt me deeply, but that was back then.

Yeah, I swear, I’ve moved on.
My heart was given to another.
Sadly, I was again used and set aside.
I hold no ill will, being on my own I’ve regained my perspectives.
(pause)
Things have been hard; nothing is that simple.
I have lost myself, to the ravages of time.
Part of my healing is to simply move forward with life.
I struggled without money, trying to bring my words to life.

(Back to the top for a second run through)

I’m not sad, just indifferent.
I don’t care to even know your name.
My past is dead, long forgotten.
I don’t care to ever see you again.
You’ve, you’ve, you’ve been let go.
A long, long, long time ago.
