Like the light was all I had,
I struck the book with my last match
The candle burned so soft and slow
I felt the warmth and felt it's glow
Salt tasting tears
They roll off of my lips
One for each day I'm inside this house, it's a trap
One I can't quite escape so pretend it's the place that I love
won't let it pa** me by again
won't let it pa** me by again The gra** was clipped
The summer sun was beating down on my front yard
All the boys and girls would laugh
I'd watch them through the curtain's crack
Place all your bets and watch me lose the life that I got but never used
Dream every night that one will come true but only bad ones ever do
won't let it pa** me by again
won't let it pa** me by again My heart beats way too fast to let regret sit in my lap won't let it pa** me by again
won't let it pa** me by again
won't let it pa** me by again
won't let it pa** me by again
