Ben Travis: Music
It's Over Now
(c)2002 Ben Travis)
So many things I thought I'd have the time to say
But it's over now, and I did not find a way
So many years I sat and watched you rot away
But I never had the time to stop the pain
No, I never had the time to stop the pain
(chorus)
But it's over now
Yes it's over now
And I guess if you asked me I'd say
it's a hell of a price to pay
to get your name in the paper for free
and I guess if you asked me
I wish you'd stay
I couldn't see at the time why you wanted me to come
To sit with you seemed pointless when you were so drunk
Now I see the lonely man you were back then
And I wish I could do it all over again
Yes, I wish I could do it all over again
[to chorus]
I guess I never put myself in your shoes
I guess I never tried to see
through your eyes
I might have been surprised
[to chorus]
