Lyrics
I?ve read the letters that you sent, again and again
You were oh so sweet back then
But that?s a little memory in my head
I just wait to forget
All the gorgeous things that you said
And the things that you did
I try to figure it out on my own
I try to understand why I?m all alone
I walk around this town in awe
Holding time by the hand
I search for answers with none to be found
Only shoes full of sand
I lie away awake in this empty room
With darkness and pain
I lie away in this burnt out room
Begging for someone to blame
Chorus
As the months pass by I grow
Even stronger than before
But I can?t quite shake these thoughts
Cause my feet are stuck to this floor
I?d buy a ticket for a train just to take me away
I'd buy a ticket for a dream just to hear you say
Chorus
You left without a reason why
You left without ever saying goodbye
