You've Seen It Happen Before Poem by Pierre Rausch

Watching everyone say goodbye
What it said on the telegram
The moonlit sky, and the air
Was the last thing I saw

Can't live in the past
Have lived so young
How do you know
Can't live in the past

Why are you running away
Looking for someone
You probably already have plans
I can make my own way back

Can't live in the past
Have lived so young
How do you know
Can't live in the past

It has happened before
Yes, but it was right to be afraid
As you disappeared back to your room
You've seen it happen before
