What He Set Out to Be

Winter blows fond memories away

Souvenirs of a true love who to came to stay

Her smiles, her laughter so distant now

He knows the why, he knows the how

He's not the man that he set out to be.

Old friends hardly come around

A man who's misplaced the treasures that he found

Memories that he held so dear

With each day become more unclear

He's not the man that he set out to be.

And he can clearly see that kindness in the key

Thought too much of himself

And not enough of she, not of she.

He can't replace her smiles

Not if he walked a million miles

They're gone,

Don't make the same mistakes of him or me

Him or me.

Memories that he held so dear

With each day become more unclear

He's not the man that he set out to be.
