Lyrics
What in the world are you thinking, my dear old friend?
They keep reaching out to you, again and again.
Oh, you can say it's their loss and how you've moved on,
But the loss is really yours; now tell me who's wrong?
Cause it's not too late
To bury your hate
This won't be your fate
If you don't wait, if you don't wait to...
Reconcile what you've left behind
It will ease your troubled mind
Reconcile the love that's been gone a while
When do you think you should begin to surrend?
That ego that crept up on you, oh way back when
Oh, but you're OK, and you've never mourned
The love of one who's been always so strong
A lifetime of love
Now passes you by
Look inside yourself
And figure out why
You won't give this a try
