Ten Years

Music and lyrics by Cruz Contreras

step right up face the music alone
you took the bait willin’ now you’re on your own
no way out and no way back
never knew a heart could hurt like that

people change and there’s little to say
you never knew me anyway
tears are fallin’ and there’s just no end
cry me a river can’t go back again

ten long years and a short goodbye
tears and dust, let them wheels fly
hoping for the best no plan in sight
ten long years and a short goodbye

everybody sees what they want to see
tell me lies still i believe
best of intentions meet reality
shattered hearts as far as i can see

ten long years and a short goodbye
tears and dust, let them wheels fly
hoping for the best no plan in sight
ten long years and a short goodbye

this voice in my head, walking a tightrope
a pounding in my mind, it’s such a winding road
should i stay or go? how will i really know?
the point of no return is a window

ten long years and a short goodbye
tears and dust, let them wheels fly
hoping for the best no plan in sight
ten long years and a short goodbye
