All These Years Later

Written by Douglas Firestein

I spent too much time
Chasing the strange tail
While the love we built
Withered and staled

I can look back now
And see why you cheated
I drove you to the brink
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it

I’m just a simple man
But that’s not a good excuse
I don’t deserve forgiveness
Least of all from you

All I really needed
Was a hand to hold
A heart to love
And to grow old
With me, just us
It’s not a dream – just love
And i still love you
All these years later – I do

I said we were fine
But that’s where I failed
All those suckas I killed
Left our train derailed

It’s clear to me now
All the things you needed
Were ignored each day
I’m sorry, i didn’t see it

I’m just a simple man
But that’s not a good excuse
I don’t deserve forgiveness
Least of all from you

All I really needed
Was a hand to hold
A heart to love
And to grow old
With me, just us
It’s not a dream – just love
And i still love you
All these years later – I do

(Take me back)
Take me back baby, I want you to
(Take me back)
This time I wont take for granted
All I have in you

All I really needed
Was a hand to hold
A heart to love
And to grow old
With me, just us
It’s not a dream – just love
And i still love you
All these years later – I do
