I got a phone call from an old girl friend of mine
She said “I’d like to see you if you wouldn’t mind”
But like the water under the bridge
You can go back but you might drown in it
That’s just one more reason to stay gone
It took a year or more for me to sort me all out
Why would I get back in it just to eliminate your doubts?
There was a time that I loved you
You cut me down and I shoved you
That’s just one more reason to stay gone
Think about it
Think about all of the pleasure
Think about all of the pain
Think of the lessons learned and Then throw the past away
They say Old memories sometimes linger on
Some are pleasant
Some are deadly and strong
But like a bird in a whirlwind
You can fly but you can’t stop turning
And that’s just one more reason to stay gone
