[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
You could have been my lover, my friend, my wife,
We danced in the moonlight, dreaming of our life.
Late nights staring up at stars, sharing all our dreams,
Caught up in the magic, it was never what it seems.
[Verse 2]
But then you found another, a ring on your hand,
I watched as you walked away, we had no solid plans.
Oh, the laughter we shared, those summers in the sun,
Now it feels like a movie, but we lost when wed begun.
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish you well, with a heart thats free,
We could have made it, but fate disagreed.
Lets face up to the truth now, time slipped away,
Just two souls wandering, caught in disarray.
[Verse 3]
You were my adventure, my wild, sweet escape,
But we were just kids, playing loves fragile shape.
We lost ourselves in dreams, in the tides of the past,
Now Im standing here wondering, how long can this last?
[Bridge]
Remember those late nights, talking 'til the dawn,
Now Im chasing my dreams, while youre gone.
Youve built your life with him, and its hard to let go,
But Ive found my own way, learned to take it slow.
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
So heres to the moments, the lessons weve learned,
Even when its painful, still inside, Ive burned.
Im growing stronger, stepping into the light,
No more trouble and strife, Im ready to fight.
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish you well, with a heart thats free,
We could have made it, but fate disagreed.
Lets face up to the truth now, time slipped away,
Just two souls wandering, caught in disarray.
Oh, I wish you well, with a heart thats free,
We could have made it, but fate disagreed.
Lets face up to the truth now, time slipped away,
Just two souls wandering, caught in disarray.
[Outro]
So heres to the memories, Ill cherish them tight,
We were lovers once, but now Ill be alright.
Though we caused each other trouble and strife,
Ill keep moving forward, embracing my life.
[Fade Out]
