Denial

I know what you'll say
"Something's gotta give"
Once there was a time you'd stay

Would it be this way
If you could only talk to me?
Just an old man soul's wish

Threw it all at waste
I should have known for real
Should have known this gift was part of deal.

I know what you'll say
"Something's gotta give"
Once upon a time you'd stay
You'd stay
