once upon a time
we were on the same path
having fun and lots of laughs
until one day we got mad
stopped talking, it was sad
since then, looking back
we can still see the tracks
even though we didn’t last
we’re always there, in our past

well, after we went our separate ways
we both began living just for today
knowing we can’t wait ‘til tomorrow
because time won’t let us borrow

so, we worked to forget about us
closing our eyes to all there was
though it might still sting some what
we had to move on from lost love

then, we came to this fork in the road
both trying to decide which way to go
should we move forward pretty fast
or keep traveling along nice and slow

either way, we get out and go to Mingle
after all, life is now, and we’re still single
so we joke around and begin to flirt
making new friends, we dish a little dirt

when all of a sudden we’re on red alert!
the lover’s past has come sneakin back
and it wants to take a bite out of our a$$
as passion and envy mix, there’s an attack

cuz, dying embers can reignite an old flame
it’s a natural occurrence nobody to blame
even if our lives have drastically changed
once hearts connect, love’s there to remain

besides, when a broken heart is on the mend
without time we haven’t gotten over it yet
and watching us have fun could get them upset
leading them to actions we all could regret

because in the heat of passion we often forget
green eyed monsters don’t play with a full deck
well, what do we do in relationships like these
how do we move forward safe and independently

and, will the next person understand this history
even sticking around when/if the s#it gets deep
I guess it just depends on the level of intimacy
that a new relationship has been able to reach

The end of your love is the end of love

That's so final, bo... and it hurts too much...
