Last I saw your face you had the smile of a sunrise
Put the laugh inside my eyes
It’s been a long time since I cried
But now they’re rolling down my lines
I couldn’t count the times I lied
But as I’m counting up the signs
Each time I
Pass you by

For all the crimes I tried
I never stole away your heart
And if I thought I might
Well, it was broken from the start
It never reached or asked
Or as well as I can tell
I saved the best for last
I never heard you shout for help

And hell, I miss you every day
I hope you burst right through the door
Wish you’d tell me we’re okay
At night I miss you even more
Cause when the moon shines on your side of me
I’m scared it’s for the best
And by the fleeting light we have at night
I’m scared to write the rest

Your friends don’t ask me anymore
About the things when I do
And every tired, distant greeting
Just re-minds me of you
I never thought that I could be
Another avenue to rue
But here I am, and once again
You’re just more grit I couldn’t chew
