Lyrics
Our words were never spoken long ago
And our hearts were left unbroken ‘cause we never let it show
Seems perfect as a rose, but no one ever knows
How much you wonder
It’s a bitter wind that carries us along
Even a fool can see what’s done is done
How long will this ride last? I’m just a junkie for the past
And it rolls like a distant thunder
Looking back is never useful - so it seems
Old regrets will never teach you what the living really means
Years will offer wisdom, but the secret’s never seen
‘Cause Time will never tell what might have been
Time will steal away the beauty of your youth
And she will tenderly unveil another truth
But, she’ll never let you look down all the roads you never took
Falling into the empty spaces
We keep trying to remember to forget
And it’s over, but it isn’t finished yet
Pick your poison every day…drink it down and walk away
Searching all these scattered traces
Looking back is never useful - so it seems
Old regrets will never teach you what the living really means
Years will offer wisdom, but the secret’s never seen
And Time may take your memory or maybe open up your dreams
But Time will never tell what might have been
