Not Always but Often

I haven't seen you since

We cut all strings

How have you been?

That blow never softened

But you know they say

That time will heal most things

Not always but often

Cause we were born into

An overcrowded room

A constant reminder that I'm just an outsider

And I'll never be like you

Cause since the day that they tore me away

I haven't been the same

I haven't been the same

What's past is past

But as it stands

I'm just not built to last

That blow never softened

So I'm left wondering

What kind of man I could have been

Not always but often

Cause I was born into

An overcrowded room

A constant reminder that I'm just an outsider

I can't feel the way you do

Cause since the day that you tore me away

I haven't been the same

I haven't been the same

I don't mean to seem ungrateful

Won't pretend it's not still painful

Don't you take it the wrong way

I know you did your best and there's no

Point in looking back

No need for regret

It simply is what it is

So I'm left wondering

If time will heal most things

Not always but often
