South Of Reality - Best Years Gone

Lord knows I've been alone
Been so long since I've felt the sun
I guess my heart has turned to stone
Left me burned and broken when she was done
So proud of the man I used to be
I think back on all the good times we shared
The family man for all to see
None of my love was ever spared

Now I'm not one to stretch the truth
I lived my life the best I could
But life is wasted on the youth
We never choose the things we should
Once a good man with so much to lose
Lessons learned the hardest ways
Growing old I learned the blues
And said goodbye to those sunny days

Well they never told me
How the emptiness inside
Could make you wonder
How your life could pass you by
Blame it on my youth
And a passion to be free
Well I found my youth
But I lost me, and the best years gone

To me it seems like only yesterday
If my memory serves me well
You were the one, but wouldn't stay
And put me through some kind of hell
I'm not one for splitting hairs
You were the queen, I was the pawn
When you're young nobody cares
The years fly by, and then they're gone

Well they never told me
How the emptiness inside
Could make you wonder
How your life could pass you by
Blame it on my youth
And a passion to be free
Well I found my youth
But I lost me, and the best years gone
All the best years gone

To the best years gone
All the best
