WANTED: WAY TO GET THE PAST TO STAY,
a promise to be held
a person to be okay
a song that should be replayed.
Send way
to a brain that feels stray
in this time and place.

Reply to keeping past,
this can't be done
I've tried
nothing can be done
all you'll get is broken pride.
These times you see
will never collide
anywhere other than your spirit;
keep the emotions,
a person will be okay
time always passes
that's why nothing ever stays.
The song will get replayed;
a different name
but things will stay the same.
Keep in touch with me,
these things truly never seem
the way you think it's meant to be.

WANTED: WAY TO GET WHAT OTHERS TRIED
to keep the beat up
so don't injure pride.
Never will get denied
if only kept tried
perhaps a way
to not let past to hold back;
only one might be okay
yet want to hack
into person's life again
not lose sight
of what felt meant to be.

Reply to keeping past;
efforts will go to haste...
tried before, not even pain fully lasts.
Meet new people,
things always change
don't hold back, weep a little
life goes by too fast
to let all of past
fully last.
efforts will go to haste;
can't always replay the past
can't always replay the past.

WANTED: WAY TO GET THE PAST TO STAY,
a promise to be held
a person to be okay
a song that should be replayed.
WANTED: WAY TO GET WHAT OTHERS TRIED
to keep the beat up
so don't injure pride.
Felt it's meant to be
felt it's meant
to be...
