Even liars deserve second chances
Waiting for you to remember
The hours that you spent
Watching the horizon fade
And trying to forget
The days grow longer
But your memory is fading
I don’t want my face to become only
A shadow on your wall
Chorus:
Listen to me as I try to explain
It was never my intention to cause you this much pain
So look into my eyes
And try to tell me you don’t care
Because when I look into yours
I see my reflection lingering there
(Bridge? Or ext. Of chorus?)
It’s hard to let go
But even harder to hang on
But don’t give up on me just yet
I know where you belong
Headaches, heartaches, lazy days in bed
Buried under covers
Regretting what we did,
But never caring all the same
All those sunsets and forget me nots never meant a thing
Our memories and images now lay
Useless broken things
Listen to me!
I’m trying to explain
it was never my intention to cause you so much pain
Look into my eyes
And try to tell me you don’t care
Cause when I look into yours
My reflection’s still lingering there
How could a friendship fade so fast
And turn its head away?
Broken glass on interstates changed the way you think
And under the heat of summer power lines
I gave it all away
Just for one more glance in loves adoring blue eyes
And now it’s my turn.....
To cry
Listen to me....
I was only trying to explain.
Given up on you because you’ve caused me so much pain!
Waiting for you to remember
The hours that we spent
Watching the horizon fade
Never wanting to forget
The hours that you spent
Watching the horizon fade
And trying to forget
The days grow longer
But your memory is fading
I don’t want my face to become only
A shadow on your wall
Chorus:
Listen to me as I try to explain
It was never my intention to cause you this much pain
So look into my eyes
And try to tell me you don’t care
Because when I look into yours
I see my reflection lingering there
(Bridge? Or ext. Of chorus?)
It’s hard to let go
But even harder to hang on
But don’t give up on me just yet
I know where you belong
Headaches, heartaches, lazy days in bed
Buried under covers
Regretting what we did,
But never caring all the same
All those sunsets and forget me nots never meant a thing
Our memories and images now lay
Useless broken things
Listen to me!
I’m trying to explain
it was never my intention to cause you so much pain
Look into my eyes
And try to tell me you don’t care
Cause when I look into yours

Waiting for you to remember

Watching the horizon fade
Never wanting to forget
