We may often lose ourselves in our friends and our lovers
And we never understand why somehow we hurt each other
Some things tend to fade as we surely get older
Brings a tear to your eye
When you look over your shoulder and at the past
That didn't last
So the spinning wheel spins and the tables turn forever
And the changes within leave their scars to remember
Somewhere in the distance
That secret voice is calling
Brings a tear to your eye
When you reminisce and think about the past
That didn't last
At least you made it through
Whatever is the truth
It's inside of you
And forever we shall live within the walls we've created
For we know not how to give
But we know now where to find it
And the memories remain unstained and un-tortured
Brings a tear to your eye
When you recall a faded vision of the past
That didn't last
The past.......it never lasts
