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?
