Somebody Once Told Me

Somebody once told me
A better way I could live
I wasn't supposed to forget
But, I did
Somebody once told me
A lesson that I could learn
About the bridges I burned
Never to return

And I thought I would remember
But, I can't as of yet
No matter how I retrace my steps
I never can get the things that were said

Somebody once told me
Like a moth to the flame
I can't remember their name
It's a shame
Somebody once told me
Beyond a reasonable doubt
And I could figure it out
Anyhow

And there's nothing I can do to jog my memory
And replace what I lost
It never came across
And I'll leave it up to you
If it's important it returns to my thoughts
Wonder if it's not?

And I thought I would remember
But, I can't as of yet
No matter how I retrace my steps
I never can get the things that were said

And I can only guess the missing part
That's gone
There's been a void that never seems to fill
For so long
It goes on and on

And I thought I would remember
But, I can't as of yet
No matter how I retrace my steps
I never can get the things that were said

And I thought I would remember
But, I can't as of yet
No matter how I retrace my steps
I never can get the things that were said
