Once upon a time
We were young and we needed
Some time to find
The kind of things in life
That only the unencumbered
Could plunder
But I know
That you and I were always meant to be
And you make me believe
'Cause you always come back to me
Words fail to describe the feeling
I have when I'm with you
Colors fade to shades of grey
Whenever you walk away
You're the reoccurring girl
(It always comes back to you)
And now that we both know
Where this is all going
Would we do the same thing?
You never leave the lights out
You never leave the lights out
When you go
And I know
If it's true love you must let her go
But how many times will you
Make me prove the rule?
And of all the boys in the world
I'm the one that you always run back to
Words fail to describe the feelings
I have when I'm with you
Colors pale and fade to shades of grey
When you walk away
You're the reoccurring girl
The one who's always on my mind
You'll always be a part of me
That is ever so empty
And now that we both know
Where this is all going
Will we do the same thing?
But where else would you go
In a world that so cold
When my arms are your safe place?
You never leave the lights out
You never quite close the door
When you go
You never leave the lights out
You always leave me
Just the cruelest glimmer
Just a sliver of hope
Just enough rope
Just a nibble; just a taste
To choke on
And why would you build me up?
Why would you build me up to tear me down?
