The Things We Know

The snow falling around you created a halo of white
For a moment, just a moment, I can pretend everything's alright
Your eyes they whisper sadly "Just let go and don't look back"
How was I to ever know our first kiss would be our last

Don't tell me what to do
You walked away and left your foot prints in the snow
As my constant reminder 
Of everything I don't have anymore

You got to me like no one else has learned
Like the blood upon the purest snowfall
You're a sweet and tainted curse
You were always meant to be my down fall
Never to catch me at the last verse
and as the winter winds they carry me away
I cannot find the strength to let go
I'm so scared of losing you
and forgetting these things we know

I take a breath and the breath it hurts to breathe 
When you walk away it stings
because you're still the medicine I need
I cry out to your heart
Say loud I'm not ready for this
There are still so many things I left to say
still too many things we missed

Don't tell me what to do
You walked away and left your foot prints in the snow
As my constant reminder 
Of everything I don't have anymore

You got to me like no one else has learned
Like the blood upon the purest snowfall
You're a sweet and tainted curse
You were always meant to be my down fall
Never to catch me at the last verse
and as the winter winds they carry me away
I cannot find the strength to let go
I'm so scared of losing you
and forgetting these things we know

These things we know
these things we've seen
How precious is love and life
when you never meant a thing
These things we know
these words you once spoke
I try and close my eyes and forget

The most beautiful things we knew
