I watch our lives pass by
And I wonder how much it would hurt
To look back and point at
The mistakes we made
The unkind words we said
The times we didn’t say
“I like you”
The times we did say
“I really don’t like you”
I wonder how much it would hurt
To look back and calculate
The happiness that was right there
For us to collect.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
