Six Years Gone and That's All I Need to Know

Does time fly when you're chasing love, or does love chase time away?

If it was so easy for you to let me go, then that’s all I need to know.

Six years hoping for your love, with nothing left to show.

For what am I waiting? Unwatered gardens never grow.

Six years going ‘round in circles. Think it’s time we let this go.

Six years never reaching greener pastures.

What the hell am I chasing after?

A night of passion. A moment of flight.

Six years of crashing. We are ships in the night.

All of our chances keep passing us by.

So many shoulda, coulda, woulda’s.

Too many maybe, I don’t know’s.

I can’t go back and you won’t move forward.

Looks like there’s no where left to go.

I didn’t want to say goodbye.

I hoped you wouldn’t let me.

But you stood right there as I walked away, with nothing left to say.

If it was that easy, didn’t hurt at all to leave me,

Well, I guess that’s all I need to know.
