We had it all
We were young lovers
We were full of trust and faith
We were dead set on making
It last forever
Forever and a day
I recall it was fall last year
When it started to die
Standing still
As the temperature k**s
The summer's thrills
That were keeping it alive
The days got colder
So I held you closer
In effort to save us some time
Almost like the wind came
And ruined the spark
And left us in the dark
But hey,
I could've told you
That I loved you and stayed
Around to kindle the fire
But I was late. on my return
And now you've lost all faith
And I am the liar
I'm no longer what you require
I still feel you at night
Turning in the sheets
When I turn out the light
That's how it goes
The ghost of your first love
Won't ever leave you
Till the day that you die
I won't ever live down
Leaving her behind
Even if the choice was the right one
It was a good thing
Staring me right in the face
But I turned and ran away
Hey,
I could've told you
That I loved you and stayed
Around to kindle the fire
But I was late, on my return
And now you've lost all faith
And I am the liar
I'm no longer what you require
Back then
The days were so much faster
We were young, stubborn
And in love with disaster
You know you can't go back
Even if you try
You better just forget her
Won't you close the door on me
Cause it'll never be the same
It'll never be the way
It was before
Well hey,
I could've told you
That I loved you and stayed
Around to kindle the fire
But I was late, on my return
And now you've lost all faith
And I am the liar
Oh hey,
I would've told you
That I loved you and stayed
Around to kindle the fire
But I was late, on my return
And so you've lost all faith
In the dying light
I'm no longer what you require
I'm no longer what you require
No longer
