My eyes burn from these tears
You'd think I'd learn over these years
Good things won't last forever
So what the hell am I suppose to do
You only wanted the things I couldn't give to you
What became of everyone I used to know?
Where did our respectable convictions go?
Your words don't match the story that your actions show
But what do I know?
I'm sure you can't help but remembering
I thought that you'd be one not to forget
But remembering's not helping you yet
Say goodnight means goodbye
I know you think my life would stop with you away
Maybe I can see you on the holidays
But you're worlds away
I've never forgotten all our yesterdays
But I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays
I can't expect you to spend forever with me
I live for that single moment
The evidence presents itself accusingly
Your absence speaking everything you think of me
Now that I am faced with opportunity
You're not remembering
I'm not asking you anyway
Even if you ever could cave in
I wouldn't know where to begin
Say goodnight
(I take back everything)
Means goodbye
(And leave me scrambling)
I know you think my life would stop with you away
(Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place)
Maybe I can see you on the holidays (I take back everything)
(And leave me scrambling)
But you're worlds away
(Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place)
Maybe I can see you on the holidays (I take back everything)
(And leave me scrambling)
But you're worlds away
(Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place)
I've never forgotten all our yesterdays
But I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays
(Holidays)
Say goodnight
(I take back everything)
Means goodbye
(And leave me scrambling)
I know you think my life would stop with you away
(Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place)
Maybe if we're speaking on the holidays
(I take back everything and leave me scrambling)
(Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place)
