Kevin Carlson: Lyrics / Music

Do you remember when you left me
Standing there
I never thought you'd leave my side
I never cared

You cut into a part of me
That hadn't been exposed

And I felt I'd been betrayed
And left for dead
There were things I'd like to tell you
That were better left unsaid

But the further I'm away from things
That happened in my youth
The distance brings me clarity
And closer to the truth
That you already knew

On the edges of this great divide
I see you standing on the other side
I know just why you left, but I still feel betrayed
And I wonder what I'd say
If I could get another moment with the one that got away
Would I'm sorry be a bit cliche?

Many years have come and gone
And life has changed
You said I'd never learn to love
That seemed strange

The words you spoke were strong enough
To cut me to the bone
But it scared away that selfish boy
That always felt alone
That wound helped guide me home

On the edges of this great divide
Now I’m standing on the other side
I know what I have learned, I never was betrayed
And I know just what I'd say
If I could get another moment with the one that got away
You have made me who I am today
With no regrets
There's nothing left
To say.
