Lyrics

A glance back at the time I spent with you
Oh, I know you feel the same way too
A kiss to wipe away the tears
Can't keep on pushing back the years
We gave up this thing long ago
Just like the stream, forever flows
This ain't devotion and it's not defeat
I'm trapped in a kitchen, can't stand the heat
Like tears falling from a wounded sky
Let's leave it here, it's time to say goodbye
(Ha, ha, hi-ya) Say goodbye
(Ha, ha, hi-ya)
You're not the man who used to make me smile
Oh, I guess I should be moving on
You're not the man who used to make me smile
Oh, I guess I should be feeling strong
Would it make you happy if I said I cared for you?
Oh, spreading my warmth around you in the cold night air
Walk with me up to the edge
Looking over at a life ahead
I may seem a fool to you
In everything I say or do
But I know this is our fate
I think we've passed the sell by date
The young horse threw the shoes at an age
Can sign me to history but stay my fate
(Ha, ha, hi-ya) Stay my fate
(Ha, ha, hi-ya)
You're not the man who used to make me smile
Oh, I guess I should be moving on
You're not the man who used to make me smile
Oh, I guess I should be feeling strong
How can I tell you something that you understand?
How can I be that someone that you'll never comprehend?
How can I tell you something that you understand?
How can I be that someone that you'll never comprehend?
You're not the man who used to make me smile
Oh, I guess I should be moving on
You're not the man who used to make me smile
Oh, I guess I should be feeling strong
