the hourglass that wore its way,
the bell that could not play
quite simply then as it were,
everything was naught,
i was the poet who forgot.

No thanks
No more
No love
I'm done
I've had enough
You're going off with her
and I wish that I was
but there's another 'can be'
just because
Alright
Be on your way
The kindest thing to say
is not that you are falling for me
say you'll come back to my arms again someday
Oh baby write some words about
how you can't shut me out
how you must find a way
to see me one more time
one more time
and please call up all your friends
and tell them it can't end
you don't know what you'd do
if you lost her
and lost me too
That's fine
That's good
That's nice
I understand the price
the cost of craving dark instead of light
I flip the coin to see if you still care tonight
My blood
my hand
my soul
I throw them under you without control
the things i freely give
you stole
and now I'm left in pieces
Oh baby tell the world about me
the way you won me over in a city you can't remember
You think it was September
sweet September
Oh baby, well it's alright
I know she needs you more than I do
and I wouldn't win this fight
but there's one thing that you've gotta do....
You've gotta tell the world about a girl you once knew
Oh she wasn't meant to be
but you fell so very deeply
in love....
with me.
a past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried after all this time I never thought we'd be here never thought we'd be here when my love for you was blind but I couldn't make you see it couldn't make you see it that I loved you more than you'll ever know a part of me died when I let you go I would fall asleep only in hopes of dreaming that everything would be like is was before but nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting they disappear as reality is crashing to the floor after all this time I never thought we'd be here never thought we'd be here when my love for you was blind but I couldn't make you see it couldn't make you see it that I loved you more than you'll ever know a part of me died when I let you go after all this timewould you ever wanna leave it maybe you could not believe it that my love for you was blind but I couldn't make you see it couldn't make you see it that I loved you more than you will ever know a part of me died when I let you go and I loved you more than you'll ever know
if i could, then i would, i'd go wherever you will go. i never wanna be the girl you left behind; i'd rather say goodbye then be the girl, the girl you left behind.
