Test of Time - Beth Crowley

I still remember

Growing up the two of us we swore that we’d always be friends

We didn’t know yet that promises have consequences

Even when you’re just a kid

One fight, she was out of my life

And it shattered what I thought we built

Wish I could’ve swallowed my pride

But now I have to live with the guilt

I saw that she’s gotten married

In pictures she looks really happy

A snapshot of her life without me

And I know, I’ve never done that well with change

And there’s no point in trying to place blame

I just hate it that we couldn’t stand the test of time

Sophomores in high school

History class, he made me laugh and instantly we got along

We’d sit for hours and contemplate the world we’d change

The way that you do when you’re young

But life’s tough and he picked me back up

When the first boy I loved broke my heart

I even caught him when he hit his rock bottom

But slowly we’ve drifted apart

He and his wife had a baby, I haven’t heard from him lately

But I hope he knows how proud he’s made me

And I know, I’ve never done that well with change

And there’s no point in trying to place blame

I just hate it that we couldn’t stand the test of time

You don’t get closure, you blink and it’s over

And you never see what a good thing you have 'til it’s gone

I never saw what a good thing I had but it’s gone

And I know, I’ve never done that well with change

And there’s no point in trying to place blame

I just hate it that we couldn’t stand the test of time
