Let bygones be bygones
Let bygones be bygones
All I want is to sway you from your ground
Hold you tight and not let you go ever
And share the same space my whole life.
Things don’t happen as we want them to happen
Destiny has helped us meet this life time
And it’s the same destiny that took you away.
Let bygones be bygones.
