It had been so long ago, how it ended no one knows
She had been his dream come true, he never found nobody new
If someone mentioned her name, you saw a tremblin’ in his hand
For a lifetime he would wait, ever since she walked away

Ever since she walked away, he still held on to yesterday
Holding on to memories, that would never set him free
He loved her right on til the end, his broken heart would never mend
For her return Lord how he prayed, ever since she walked away

Right until the day he died, he had her picture by his side
Old and faded from the years, stained with whiskey and his tears
When they laid him in the ground, peace of mind he finally found
A broken soul who lost his way, ever since she walked away

Ever since she walked away, he still held on to yesterday
Holding on to memories, that would never set him free
He loved her right on til the end, his broken heart would never mend
For her return Lord how he prayed, ever since she walked away 2x’s

on Seperate Ways

I’m sittin’ here tonite, watchin you become his bride
No I don’t think it’s right, this game we call love
I know it’s not the right time, but your still on my mind
Well i just need to know, why’d we go our separate ways

Make me understand, why he’s holding your hand
And I’m here all alone, wonderin’ where it all went wrong
I know it wasn’t right, me comin' here tonite
I’m just trying to make some sense, of the love we left behind

Maybe I should go, but I thought you outta know
Just how I've felt about you, all these years we’ve been apart
My feelings haven't changed, that’s why i sit here on this gate
I hope you keep in mind, all the love we left behind

Make me understand, why he’s holding your hand
And I’m here all alone, wonderin’ where it all went wrong
I know it wasn’t right, me comin here tonite
I’m just trying to make some sense, of the love we left behind

Wishin you still were mine

on I Can’t Live

It’s been a month since you’ve been gone, my worlds left upside down
I can’t seem to stand on solid ground
I thought that if you’d leave me, well I’d be happy as a clown
But now i see my world came crumblin’ down

Well I've been looking, for you darlin’
I’ve been searchin’ every bar in this town
Well I have lost you, I don’t know what to do
I can’t live without you by my side

I drink myself to sleep at night, not knowing where to find
The one that I loved I let slip away
Now standing here alone tonight, and goin’ out of my mind
All I have left is a memory of your face

Well I've been looking, for you darlin’
I’ve been searchin’ every bar in this town
Well i have lost you, I don’t know what to do
I can’t live without you by my side

Well i have lost you, I don’t know what to do
I can’t live without you by my side
no I can't live without you by my side
