|
You were a face in the crowd |
|
I threw myself onto you |
|
I tried to take you away |
|
I didn't know how to do |
|
But I could not give you the most |
|
Some things |
|
I said were never true |
|
Yet still we clung to a ghost |
|
I feel so bad you never knew |
|
I felt like you should know but |
|
I could not tell you so |
|
When you walked away |
|
I breathed your name |
|
As you walked away |
|
As you walked away |
|
We can never get back what we choose to throw away |
|
When you walked away |
|
I breathed your name |
|
As you walked away |
|
As you walked away |
|
We can never get back what we choose to throw away |
|
I don't know how to hold onto something |
|
That seems determined to grow by the day |
|
Every time |
|
I think I can handle |
|
You only seem to get further away |
|
I never realized just how hard it was for a person like me to do |
|
For a person like me to do |
|
When you walked away |
|
I breathed your name |
|
As you walked away |
|
As you walked away |
|
We can never get back what we choose to throw away |
|
When you walked away |
|
I breathed your name |
|
As you walked away |
|
As you walked away |
|
We can never get back what we choose to throw away |
|
I couldn't watch you wishing for something |
|
That seemed more impossible by the day |
|
Anytime I saw your expression |
|
I only seemed to run farther away |
|
I never realized just how hard it was for a person like me to do |
|
Obsessed with thoughts that deform |
|
Held on by hope too well worn |
|
Crippled because of dreams that eclipse reality |
|
Crashing into truths we don't perceive |
|
We don't perceive |
|
I couldn't hold on to the things that mattered to you |
|
It was my big mistake |
|
Thinking there were two roads to take |
|
As you walked away (as you walked away) |
|
As you walked away (as you walked away) |
|
As you walked away (as you walked away) |
|
As you walked away |
|
As you walked away |
