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 its glow
Salt tasting tears
They roll of 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 this pa** me by again)
Won't let it pa** me by again
(Won't let this pa** me by again)
Won't let it pa** me by again
