Lived Long Enough
I've lived long enough to know how it goes
That lovable feeling, keeping me on my toes
I've lived long enough to tell you how it ends
The infamous "we can still be friends"
But what I can't tell you is why
The sharp pain of tears I cry
Like the harmful words surrounding me
The black and blue so hard to see
It's hard to hold my head up high
When all I'm used to is 'goodbye'
But I do it anyway because I am strong
Though my heart is still torn and it's been so long
I fought this war and man I tried
The scars are everlasting and do not hide
I've lived long enough to know how it goes
My heart is healing and my heart still woes
I've lived long enough to know how it ends
And sooner or later I'll make amends
