So Many Years

I've tried to let it go,
despite what she said to me.
I've tried to live my life
without haunting memories.

How can they think / that it's over?
Haven't we cried /a thousand tears?
How can they think /that it's over?
We've suffered /so many years.

You'll change your mind,
And as you grow older,
take what is given you,
and just become colder.

I know, I've been there, she said.
I used to be like you.
But now that I'm all grown up,
I've accepted it too.

How can they think that it's over?
Haven't we cried a thousand tears?
How can they think that it's over?
We've suffered so many years.

You'll change your mind,
And as you grow older,
take what is given you,
and just become colder.

No one can say it's right.
No one can justify.
They say that we'll forget.
That's just another lie.
