A Toast

Something in the way we never said goodbye 

Or good luck with your future life

Is keeping me from moving on

And every angry word I shouted out

Is slowly coming back around

A burden that I face alone 

And every regret stinging in the 

Vows you made in May

To someone I will never be

Another chance is gone

So I will make a toast

To forget every ghost of your return

And help me learn

To let it go 

Here’s to all the things we never said

And days of silent time well spent

And lessons learned to never wait too long

And here’s to all the beauty that I left you with

To carry on with someone else and

Here’s to you

Here’s to you

Every time you look into her eyes

I wonder if you realize

That I’m the only one who ever knew

I got inside your head 

And made sense of the mess and

Showed you how to love the very best

Part of you 

CHORUS

BRIDGE

And every time I find some piece of mind

The memory of us haunts me

You’re coming back to haunt me now

I know I have a life 

You have a wife

And time’s gone by 

And it’s all over now

I know that it’s all over now

But I can’t forget you
