Dale Mabry – Part Of My Story lyrics

I'm lying awake, thinking about things
Thinking you might be doing the same
It's probably been at least twenty years
Since the last time I've spoken your name
I don't drink like I did
I've got a couple of kids
I'm a better man now than you knew
But lots of regrets
Especially one about the way that I left things with you

And I don't want you back
I'm not asking for that
But I'm lying if I say I don't think about you sometimes
I just hate that I don't know how everything turned out
If you hear this song, would it kill you to drop me a line?
Because I hope that you're good now, that somebody loves you
And gives you the things that I just couldn't give you back then
You're a part of my story and I'm part of yours
So it's painful to think I might never hear your voice again

I'm not building it up
I know what it was
I think I even knew at the time
Because we wasn't kids
But we sure weren't adults
Well, we got to the end of some nights
It wasn't so long
A year and some change
But at times it could burn like a star
I just want you to know you're still on my mind
And when that goes, I'll still have the scars

And I don't want you back
I'm not asking for that
But I'm lying if I say I don't think about you sometimes
I just hate that I don't know how everything turned out
If you hear this song, would it kill you to drop me a line?
Because I hope that you're good now, that somebody loves you
And gives you the things that I just couldn't give you back then
You're a part of my story and I'm part of yours
So it's painful to think I might never hear your voice again
