Thanks, Lost, I'll give it a read. I really appreciate your post, and it touched me on a very hectic morning.

After Awhile


In the youth of your days, together you’re one
Bold and excited, it all seems fun
In the morning of our years, you move together
Happy and in love, there’s nothin’ you can’t weather
In those heady early days, it call came so damned easy.

But

After awhile
The heart grows colder
After awhile
You feel so much older
And after awhile
Your hope just fades away

After all
Your dreams start dyin’
After more
Of your nights spent cryin’
After all the time just slips away.

But you can’t go back, you can’t reconsider
You can’t change the words that made us both so bitter
You won’t take it back, even if you could and
You won’t forgive, the sins and if you would I
Might still feel that it’s just too damned late

Cuz

After awhile
The heart grows colder
After awhile
You realize you’re older
After awhile
Your hope just fades away

After all
Your dreams start dyin’
And after all this time
I don’t even try cryin’
After all the time just slipped away.
It all just faded away …
