Shouldn’t be This Way

Memories overwhelm me
Summers warmth it glows before me
The idol hand of time restores me
Before I know it’s gone
Waiting for life’s fair warning
The path is clear no time for mourning
My repetitious mind still burning
Before I know it’s gone

So far away, the words I had to say
Love of my life, it shouldn’t be this way

Nothing ever stays the same
It’s all become such a game.
Into the light out of the dark
Life’s struggle has made its mark
All of the pieces that lay so stark
Roll of the dice we now embark
There is a voice in my head
Speaking the truth of pain instead
