When you came to me
You said love could not erase
The ever present memory of another face
I tried to make you love me
How could I be so blind
To think I'd be the one to change your mind
And if I'm gone before you start
Well you can find me in your heart
Who can say if its right wrong
I've waited for you too long
And if I can't hold on
I'm Gone
When you came to me
I said love will find a way
For every heart that leaves
Another heart must stay
I guess you couldn't see
As the shadow's in the night
It seems the time for us just wasn't right
And if I'm gone before you start
Well you can find me in your heart
Who can say if its right wrong
I've waited for you too long
And if I can't hold on
I'm Gone...
This town was our lovers' stage
But now you can't recognise
The streetlights that are daggers to your eyes
You can't find your bearings
You're slipping into the ground
The scene has no colour and no sound
Do you still believe in me After the things I've done?
Do you fear for what we have become?
The ground is uneven
We stumble from day to day
But shelter where it's easy
I know your feet are like lead
But you've got to get underway
Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's too easy to get left behind
I know you've been kicked around
But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me
Each heart is a paper kite
Blown around by the breeze
Love won't rest till it brings you to your knees
Some find it easy
Some will never even know
You think you've done your journey
Then you stumble and find that there's such
A long way to go
Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's too easy to get left behind
I know you've been kicked around
You want to be lost and not be found
But let's take the back way into town
And drink to the bad times
Lay them down on me
Girl I still believe in you
You're too good to fall so low
We're going to find a better life I know
Things will be clearer
And soon as we make a start
We'll be that much nearer
We're too old to just stand here
Waiting to break apart
Drag your heart up to the starting line
Forget the ghosts that make you old before your time
It's too easy to get left behind
I know you've been kicked around
But tie up your thoughts and lay them down on me
