The Good Years - The Sadies

She’ll take her secrets to her grave

She has no memory of him she’d like to save

She’s had to live with the decisions that he made

Oh so many years

He’ll see her on the other side

She can’t wait to empty out the space he occupied

He’s not the only one that she’s been watching slowly die

Oh so many years

He never listened, she wouldn’t say

He said she has no ambition anyway

She never told him, he couldn’t see

If he didn’t know himself then how could she?

She can’t miss a man she never knew

She learned not to be afraid of the things that some will do

He lost it all on a night no one recalls

From the liquor and the drugs

She spread his ashes by the sea

She couldn’t think of any place he liked to be

She knows these things will come in threes and maybe fours

She could’ve asked him, he could’ve said

He haunted her before he was dead

He never wondered, neither did she

The good years were never meant to be

Never meant to be
