Lyrics
Verse 1: Sitting here in my room
All thoughts are filled with you
Thinking about times past
Memories are fading fast
Used to think we'd stay the same
Now everything has changed
Just the mention of your name
Brings tears streaming down my face
Refrain:
I don't know what I can do
I keep trying to tell this to you
As I look into your eyes
I can see that you are blind to my mind
You ask why
Verse 2:
You are so innocent
As your life truly begins
My life is full of sin
That makes me worse than him
You're my blessed protector
I your future source of hurt
Your love I know I don't deserve
So I watch your love for him unfurl
Refrain:
I don't know what I can do
I keep trying to tell this to you
As I look into your eyes
I can see that you are blind to my mind
You ask why
Verse 3:
Ten years have gone by now
I'm still here by myself
For you wedding bells will sound
Rose pedals hit the ground
Some say life's way too short
Like waves that crash and leave the shores
For me life is far too long
That's the reason for this song
Pull this gun from the drawer
Point it up to my skull
Pull the trigger with a sigh
This is my last goodbye
