Its not the miles I've done in my life
That sometimes makes me feel so old
It's not the cold in winter time
Just because I hate the cold
It's not all those dead ends in life
And it's not all those f'lamen years~
It's not the heartaches that I've had in life
And its not all those f'lamen tears~
Its the ones that let me down so much
While at the same time they called me mate~
It's not the years that make me sometimes feel my age
Its the ones that tried in vain to teach me how to hate ~.
