Lyrics Test of Time - Beth Crowley

Test of Time

I still remember
Growing up the two of us we swore that we’d always be friends
We didn’t know yet that promises have consequences
Even when you’re just a kid
One fight, she was out of my life
And it shattered what I thought we built
Wish I could’ve swallowed my pride
But now I have to live with the guilt
I saw that she’s gotten married
In pictures she looks really happy
A snapshot of her life without me
And I know, I’ve never done that well with change
And there’s no point in trying to place blame
I just hate it that we couldn’t stand the test of time
Sophomores in high school
History class, he made me laugh and instantly we got along
We’d sit for hours and contemplate the world we’d change
The way that you do when you’re young
But life’s tough and he picked me back up
When the first boy I loved broke my heart
I even caught him when he hit his rock bottom
But slowly we’ve drifted apart
He and his wife had a baby, I haven’t heard from him lately
But I hope he knows how proud he’s made me
And I know, I’ve never done that well with change
And there’s no point in trying to place blame
I just hate it that we couldn’t stand the test of time
You don’t get closure, you blink and it’s over
And you never see what a good thing you have 'til it’s gone
I never saw what a good thing I had but it’s gone
And I know, I’ve never done that well with change
And there’s no point in trying to place blame
I just hate it that we couldn’t stand the test of time
