No simple word,
The open book,
The letter's kill and you can't lookA broken lock,
The empty mouth,
A distant sound creeping out

A long, long, gone melodyA long, long, gone memory of wonder
A silent word,
The poison took,
The shallow eyes take their last lookA whispered doubt,
An empty house,
An autumn leaf on the ground
A long, long, gone melodyA long, long, gone memory of wonder

Fall like feathers,Red and leatherLeaves crack, dreaming,Slowly leavingWarm hand waiting,
Green has been painted brown
Summer days, summer nights
Summer rain, summer skyBright and blue, black and darkHallow moon, under stars
Fading ember,
Worn and weatheredGlowing letters
Spell their end thereBreathless calling,
The sun keeps falling down
Summer days, summer nights
Summer rain, summer skyBright and blue, black and darkHallow moon, under stars
Summer days, summer nights
Summer rain, summer skyBright and blue, black and darkHallow moon, under stars

For all the times I stayed out late and left her waiting at homeFor all the times I didn’t answer my phoneFor all the instances I said I’d be better aloneI should’ve let her understand how I felt
I should’ve realised money isn’t how you measure your wealth
I didn’t know I needed nobody else 'cos I was out for myselfNow I’m in need of her help
But she took my advice and found somebody else
I should’ve made her feel specialShould’ve treated her betterThey say you’ll know the girl of your dreams when you get herI knew it was her the first time that I met herBut took her for granted and try to forget herI wish I would’ve told her in the very beginning
How glad I was to have her ‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘cos she made life worth livingIll always regret the fact that I didn’tGuess that’s what you get when you’ve kept your heart hidden
For all the lies I told for every time that I bent the truthIf I don’t care I can’t loseAnybody can lie but you can’t lie to yourselfYou can’t pretend you don’t care, they'd be able to tell
I should’ve told her she’s the one who made me stable myselfThe legs to my table as well
She’s the girl who promised heaven that I put through hell
The one I weren’t prepared to lose who didn’t know how I felt
I should’ve made her feel specialShould’ve treated her betterThey say you’ll know the girl of your dreams when you get herI knew it was her the first time that I met herBut took her for granted and try to forget herI wish I would’ve told her in the very beginning
How glad I was to have her ‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘cos she made life worth livingIll always regret the fact that I didn’tGuess that’s what you get when you’ve kept your heart hidden

I remember when I knew where I was goingI recall a time I felt I’d lost my wayAnd now I’m stuck between the twoAnd it’s all because of youFor leaving me as I’d just started growing
There were weeks on end the clouds weren’t in the skyThere were times when we were stuck out in the rainMemories good and bad have been and goneI’ll cherish each and every single oneI remember when all we knew was still worth knowing
And I’d love to say with certainty that this wasn’t for the worstAnd I'm struggling to put it in to wordsI can’t lie that it’s been hurting meThat you cant see what its worthAnd you left just when I needed it to work
I remember when the world was at our feetAnd I look back to when we thought wed lost it allI was a story of success
Now I'm barely existing at bestI remember when I knew where I was going
