I did not speak
I did not say
But I did listen, anyway.

They called her things
They called her names
But I just stood there, just the same.

She did not know
She did not hear
For she was anywhere, but here.

I blame them
I blame me
I didn't defend her, it's not easy.

I'll have regrets
the day I die
I'll have unanswered questions
that around me fly
I never went up to the moon
I never saw Napoleon's tomb
I never crossed the oceans deep
Nor stood on top of Himalaya's peak
I never thought we'd say goodbye
but time just slipped on by
And now I sit here feeling sad
wondering if life has me had

It doesn't matter anymore
The memories's weight
I can pull no more
I'll just lay down and die
and to this world I'll say goodbye
Then as I walk into the light
I will be full of fear and fright
But it will all be okay
Happens to us all on any given day
