deary

how did we get here so quick
I still feel so young and alive
the years are gone now
for time hasn't been on my side
I wasted away, on a love that wasn't true
he told me he loved me
I lied and said "me too"
I smiled to reassure him
oh but he knew, we knew
and now I'm here with you
but just to help you get through
I'm sorry but I can't be made a fool
so just laugh while I'm here
don't think about the fear
I'll always be near
and you'll forever be my dear
