I've seen how that ring
Shines wild on your finger
A couple years past
Thoughts breathe and they linger
I want you to know
I still live that summer
Pale skin to contrast your eyes under covers
We tore it all apart before we left it behind
Slammed the door so hard
But we keep falling back in our minds
So why is it so difficult to talk when it's done?
Your words betray the front you're faking
We both come undone
We've gone past the point
Of turning around though we love how it sounds
We won't speak the truth
Though it slipped through our hands
It won't come out our mouths
Who am I kidding?
We're better off now
I can live with the thought of you wearing that gown
From another man's dreams
That I'm sure that you share
And I know that you care
And I know you won't admit it
I swear to God
This book is closed
(I know you'll miss me)
Another chapter left untold
(Forever missing you)
We tore it all apart before we left it behind
Slammed the door so hard
But we keep falling back in our minds
So why is it so difficult to talk when it's done?
Your words betray the front you're faking
We both come undone
We've gone past the point
Of turning around
Though we love how it sounds
We won't speak the truth
Though it slipped through our hands
It won't come out our mouths
We've gone past the point
Of turning around
Though we love how it sounds
We won't speak the truth
Though it slipped through our hands
It won't come out our mouths
♪
To hell with the phone calls
And damn all our dreams
Their echoes in canyons
Between you and me
What's done has been done
The past left us trapped
We'll live with the memories
And leave it at that
We've gone past the point
Of turning around
Though we love how it sounds
We won't speak the truth
Though it slipped through our hands
It won't come out our mouths
We've gone past the point
Of turning around
Though we love how it sounds
We won't speak the truth
Though it slipped through our hands
It won't come out our mouths
