it's time I go
it's way past arguments
cause arguments have been
the last cement in our love
since way back when
our son is all grown up
He'll have his own kids soon
It's way past time
that I just disappear
and find myself a quiet room.
Don't need to see
your lovely eyes
dampened by bitter salt
It's hurt me ever since our love was
split like the San Andreas Fault
but thorns embedded in one's flesh
they have to be removed.
it taints what we once knew
It poisons me and you
I am that thorn
I will admit it's true
you are the rose
that I looked up to
but I failed to nourish you.
You used to be one bud
I shared the softest petals of
your lips, your love,
now soiled by our blues
now soiled by our blues.
It's time I go
before we both grow old
chasing a warmth that's
far beyond our grasp
Annulled and cold
It's time to love again
and still part civilly
share the grandchildren
our son will bring
to you and me
it's all that I can do
when love's no longer true,
it's all that I can do
when love's no longer true.
