Something That We Can't Do Anymore

Something That We Can't Do Anymore

A Poem by mjsalyers
"

A song about a relationship where there was love but both came to get too used to it and ultimately that loss of realization tore the relationship apart making all involved strangers to one another.

"

As I watch the night drift away .

I think of you somehow .

I know I can't complain love .

Even though it's over now .

But I thank God for all that we were .

And all that we can't be again .

'Cause you can't go back to a place .

To find something that's never been .

It was love , we were blind .

It was love , oh so kind .

It was something we could lean on and something we'd greive for .

But now it's just something that we don't do anymore .


As I watch the ghosts walk my way .

I still love you somehow .

There are memories I'd like to live again .

Ah , but it just don't matter now

But , I thank God for all that we were .

And all that we can't be again .

'Cause we can never start back where we were .

And live through love again .

It was love , we were blind .

It was love , oh so kind .

It was something we could lean on and something we'd greive for .

But now it's just something that we don't do anymore .


I went walking in the tall trees .

As I realise all our costs .

And how the hearts are ever changing .

To remind us of what we've lost .

And still I thank God for all that we were .

And all that we can't be again .

You can't go back and change the story .

To the writing that should have been .

We were love , in our time .

It's over now , but we'll be fine .

It's a memory we can lean on , a loss that we can greive for .

But now it's just something that we can't do anymore ....

Somewhere the Devil's laughin' .

Because I miss you now .........
