Wasn’t That Much Time After All

Drinking in the sun like young folks used to do
Throwing caution to the wind on an old Michigan roof
Some memories stay with me for so long
There wasn’t that much time after all

She could have told me anything and I would have believed
I was not concerned with truth, I was willingly deceived
I could say she was to blame but that ain’t true
It was all on me it was my fatal flaw
There wasn’t that much time after all

You were gone so suddenly and could not speak your goodbyes
But I can see you when I need to, cuz your eyes are in mine
What I should have said, no one will hear
The years ran by too fast and now they crawl
Wasn’t that much time after all

So what amount of penitence is right for my dumb stuff
And who else but me can say what is enough
Consequences fade but never disappear
If I could only change some thing however small
There wasn’t that much time after all
