The Change
Embracing Change: Reflections on Lost Connections
Lyrics
I'd have so much to tell you
I have a lot to share with you
If it wasn't today
But not today
Quips and bits and your point of view
Small remarks and your perspective
But now there's nothing to say
Now there's nothing left to say
All of those times that we fought, were they wasted?
Reflecting on past arguments, were they meaningless?
What would you make of the steps that I've taken?
Questioning the significance of my actions
A lovely connection we shared, I've forsaken
Abandoning a beautiful connection we once had
What should I take from the change?
Seeking meaning from the changes
I'll leave your memory behind
I'll move on from the memories of you
'Cause you were never really mine
Realizing you were never truly mine
And in the depths of my resign
In the depths of acceptance, you had to leave
You had to go
Accepting the necessity of your departure
When I remember what we had
Recalling the positive aspects of our relationship
I'm not that sad it's in the past
Not overly saddened by the past
We're all presented different paths
Acknowledging different life paths for everyone
I had to go
I had to move on
Nostalgia seeps through the twilight
Nostalgia lingers in the evening
It finds me pining away
Finding myself yearning for the past
I used to think that we shone so bright
Believing our connection used to be strong
For years it's faded and grayed
Realizing it has faded and dulled over the years
I'll leave your memory behind
Leaving behind the memories of you
'Cause you were never really mine
Understanding you were never mine to keep
And in the depths of my resign
In the depth of accepting the situation, you left
You had to go
Accepting the inevitability of your departure
When I remember what we had
Recalling the positive aspects without much sadness
I'm not that sad it's in the past
Acceptance that it's in the past
We're all presented different paths
Acknowledging diverse life journeys
I had to go
Moving forward was necessary
Take a tangled mess and shun her words, you
Taking a confusing situation and disregarding her words
Watch as history lashes out
Observing as history unfolds with its consequences
The flames have cooled but why were they ignited?
Contemplating why conflicts were sparked
You wane in the background
You fading into the background
When I remember what we had
Recalling the positive aspects without much sadness
I'm not that sad it's in the past
Acceptance that it's in the past
We're all presented different paths
Acknowledging diverse life journeys
I had to go
Moving forward was necessary
I'll leave your memory behind
Leaving behind the memories of you
'Cause you were never really mine
Understanding you were never mine to keep
And in the depths of my resign
In the depth of accepting the situation, you left
You had to go
Accepting the inevitability of your departure
When I remember what we had
Recalling the positive aspects without much sadness
I'm not that sad it's in the past
Acceptance that it's in the past
We're all presented different paths
Acknowledging diverse life journeys
I had to go
Moving forward was necessary
