A Lifetime Or More.

I\'ve waited a lifetime or more
I gave everything I could give
Now, it\'s been 20 years before
I began to learn how to live
With this aching pain of mine
20 years of silence made me sad
I drank away the pain
Tried it again and again
As I held on to what I had
Summer comes on Breeze
And as winter turned me cold
I never really had the will to live
It confused up my ease
And I feel like now I\'m old
When I gave everything I could give
I held out my hand to me
As I walked around the block
And as time passes slowly by
Age suddenly became a shock
But, my love still stands that\'s why
Why I remember her close to me
As she looked through a broken window
I told her to just try and hold on
I gave her a bunch of flowers
If she ever thought me wrong
And if this is where love goes
I\'ll learn how to deal with hours
Upon a bridge, I stood still
And watched my reflection flow
As the whirling water pulled me in
I knew my love would know where to go
I can\'t remember how many years now
That I never managed to find a lot
But, I always managed a cheeky smile
I gave everything I had and more miles
I even walked up shit-creek and swam the Nile
But, nothing ever lasted for a while
And when I lived in an Emerald house
Become before me spouse after spouse
And as lay dying soaked in my own blood
I told myself just to hold on
When I gave everything I could give
The end was near, I was nearly gone
Although my heart needs to live now
It\'s thinking of how much time is left
Losing all the things I love
I lost my life, but I tried my best.
