I'm not sorry for the way I left
Won't weigh the memory with regret
Romanticize a troubled past
But I miss the life I thought I'd have
I'm not sorry that I lost my way
A different role for any day
I couldn't ever take that back
But I wish I'd known a better path
And I miss the life I thought I'd have
Lights go down on summer sand
I breathe you in and out again
I'll never falter
But I may wonder
Do you miss the life we built back then?
I'm not angry when I'm looking back
On a dozen dreams that didn't last
But after all the lights go black
I'll remember how we made it last
And I'll miss the life I thought we'd have
Seasons change, my life unfolds
And time goes on, it takes a toll
I'll never falter
But I may wonder
If I had the chance to take it back
Could I make the life I wanted last?
Or would I only miss the life I thought I'd have?
