Ten Years Gone

I could do anything, be anything

With my girl by my side, I felt strong

As I hold her now, it’s a cold embrace

Every word I say comes out wrong

How did I end up in the place?

When do I get out?

It feels like I’m dying

She keeps crying

I’m miss the kiss of the girl I used to know

Holding her close when the nights turned cold

And I’m well aware those days are over now

I can’t roll back time

I’ve been away too long

La la la la

Ten years gone

La la la la

Ten years gone

Is it live to learn, or learn to live?

Hey boy don’t you know, you’ve got dues to pay

And I’ve paid price, took the loss

For mistakes I’ve made along the way

I wish I could turn my feelings off

Cause they don’t mean a thing

When you stop believing

In trying to reason

I miss the friends that I used to know

The good times we shared, places we used to go

I’m well aware those days are over now

I can’t roll back time

I’ve been away too long

La la la la

Ten years gone

La la la la

Ten years gone

La la la la

Ten years gone

La la la la

Ten years gone

And there not coming back

And there not coming back

Ten years gone

And there not coming back
