carolina

It's been years since Carolina

The song's still in my head

I've been here since Carolina

It's wrong but isn't dead

I gave you all you asked for

Wanted nothing in return

So how could you grow so cold

And still you let me burn

The fire's on the outside

In the distance

Not in vain

These memories are worthwhile

I miss it

I'm just sayin'

It's been years since Carolina

You always cross my mind

I fear I'll have to line up

And go through it one more time

I just wonder how long I can stay away

If it means that much to you, well

I'll stay okay

But I'm hurting

I'll admit it

If you'll have me I'll come and play

But we both know we're better off

If we go our separate ways

It's been years since Carolina

The song's still in my head

I've been here since Carolina

It's strong but left unsaid

I gave you all you asked for

Wanted nothing in return

So how could you grow so cold

And still you let me burn

It's been years since Carolina

Our paths will cross again

There's no cheers since Carolina

It's sad I lost a friend

But I'm better off I know it

Guess the letter says it all

I keep it in my desk drawer

To keep it off my wall

I've been here since Carolina

In the corner, with my bag

Just tell me when the time's up

I'll buy a ticket, grab a cab

And turn around to come home

Cuz I don't want it all that bad

I've been here

I've been here
