Well now that we're older
things don't seem quite as bad.
It's best to have lost
than to never have had.

Though roses have thorns
and people can change.
Your life can't be trusted
till it's all rearranged.

Well it never seemed wrong
to stay out all night.
And then eat at a diner
at the first sign of light.

But if you burn all your bridges
you got no way to cross.
And that river won't carry
your sorrow and loss.

You're not the people you knew
the bad or the good.
You're not the words that were said
or misunderstood.

If your mirror get's broken
don't let your heart do the same.
Even the coldest of winters
is killed with a flame.

Well I know how you're feelin'
cuz we're in the same boat.
Out on that river
much better to float.

Though the eyes that you loved
have left you or closed.
Well they left you here starin'
with eyes brighter than most.
