Sitting out another night
Another empty room
Wishing I was with you
But it ended all so soon.
Your laughter hits the windows
As you go strolling by
With your innocent face just hiding
Everything you feel inside.
There's no time for velvet gloves
Out on the broken road
You took me up to heaven
But you left me there alone.
Empty days - they're traced out on the walls
All the pictures, all the lies we had to tell
It's burnt into me, I must have walked this road before
Loneliness will never change a thing.
You're just like some river
That floods into my room
And the times I speak without thinking
Are the ones I regret so soon.
Maybe words that were said in jest
Are the ones I most want to disown
You took me up to heaven
But you left me there alone.
Empty days - they're traced out on the walls
All the pictures, all the lies we had to tell
It's burnt into me, I must have walked this road before
Loneliness will never change a thing.
Some days my eyes still shine
The way they used to do
Some days I know exactly
What to say and what to do.
I kissed your mouth
In every single way.
