what went wrong

The Slackers

Give me a minute to compose myself,
ItÂ?s been long, long time since you've been gone
I can still remember conversations we had
Too bad thatÂ?s all that now lingers on
So many times I nearly fooled myself
That somebody like you could give a damn about me
But then one day you stepped into my life
All my strife was a fleeting memory

Over and over in my head at night (What went wrongÂ?)
DidnÂ?t lose the battle, didnÂ?t give up the fight (What went wrongÂ?)
To let you go then didnÂ?t make things right (What went wrongÂ?)
CanÂ?t hide the tears from my eyes
Now that loveÂ?s gone and passed me by

Bearing my life I somehow steered you wrong
From the road once again was driving us away
I pushed aside the things that meant so much
With the hope that you'd be happy someday
I wear regret now like the lines on my face
Not a day passes on that you donÂ?t cross my mind (You donÂ?t cross my mindÂ?)
Couldn't raise the spirits of the broken hearted
Chance presents itself what'd you do in kind

Over and over in my head at night (What went wrongÂ?)
DidnÂ?t lose the battle, didnÂ?t give up the fight (What went wrongÂ?)
To let you go then didnÂ?t make things right (What went wrongÂ?)
CanÂ?t hide the tears from my eyes
Now that loveÂ?s gone and passed me by

CanÂ?t hide the tears from my eyes
Now that loveÂ?s gone and passed meÂ?

But then one day I gathered up the nerve
To dream all of those ways I thought not to cross
In for this pain that flow deep down inside
That still has the dreams that always know loss
Upon the threshold I now made my ascent
Towards the door I sure closed on one careless day (On one careless dayÂ?)
Written on the ledge, just passed, I bother let in
That your name, long gone, it faded away

Over and over in my head at night (What went wrongÂ?)
DidnÂ?t lose the battle, didnÂ?t give up the fight (What went wrongÂ?)
To let you go then didnÂ?t make things right (What went wrongÂ?)
What went wrongÂ?
CanÂ?t hide the tears from my eyes now that loveÂ?s gone and passed meÂ?
LoveÂ?s gone
LoveÂ?s gone
LoveÂ?s gone
Now that loveÂ?s gone and passed me by
