Memories are all I have
Memories to get me through
I burn a candle in the corner
Keep staring at it like you do
I wasn't running out of time
Honey I never had a clue
I was too late to realise
That I was running out of you
Now this time it won't be easy
For me to numb the pain
I've seen you grow away from me
And if we were young again
I'd keep myself from falling for you
Let my senses run insane
Forget when we were alone
And I kissed you in the rain
It slips away, just like sand
From your hand, I understand it now I do
The pain it causes, I can take
Because I know it's my mistake
And I deserve, anything but your love
Because I could never love you back enough
Say it's over, say you'll wait
Let it build before it, build before it breaks
It's getting harder now to breathe
You say I hope I understand
I promised I'd bring you the stars
But I caught one and it burned my hand
I've kept it in for God knows how long
If I could just pick up the phone
It's words that hurt the most now isn't it baby?
I'm sad inside, I'm home alone
Now it's running like a river, your words through my head
And I'm sure that I'll have myself an ocean before I'm dead
Afraid to sink, afraid to swim, I'm hanging onto a thread
Our pain was outspoken, but our love was unsaid
It slipped away, just like sand
From our hands, I understand it now I do
The pain it causes, I can take
Because I know it's my mistake
And I deserve, anything but your love
Because I could never love you back enough
But now it's over, and maybe it's fate
That we just wait and watch it, wait and watch it break
