lyrics

The time is near
To let go of my hopes and fears
And dream the day
I bring a smile to your face
Did she just say
Its alright to be afraid

But her love it died
when we said our last goodbyes
Her wishing well
Is filled with pennies
She'll never tell
I wish I knew
What happens inside of you

But the truth hurts more
Than you could ever tell
'Cos the writing on the wall said
Look back right behind you
You fell
All the mystery and intrigue
Burning like a brown leaf
That you can't have
Just to think that maybe you could change it
Too late now


And I find you there
All helpless thinking no one cares
But in fact I do
I just wish I could show you
Did you not say
Please walk away

Showers burn and sting
Means a new day, new everything
You use your smart
The best things said are from the heart
Did you not speak
Why not to me?


But the truth hurts more
Than you could ever tell
'Cos the writing on the wall said
Look back right behind you
You fell
All the mystery and intrigue
Burning like a brown leaf
That you can't have
Just to think that maybe you could change it
Too late now
