I'm driving past your mother's house Your bedroom light has long burned out Trying to hold on to what I've learned You will never get what you deserve I've heard these words a thousand times This candle burns inside your mind Trying to hold on to what is real You well never know just how I feel Trying to reach over, but the pain goes on In the end I'll see you, when our days are gone I waited ‘til you came back home You've been to Paris, but never Rome Trying to forget what's in the past When I see your face it doesn't last
