I jumped the fence last night
at three A.M., no less:
shattered hopes of my own
daft presumptions. Yet,
perhaps they weren't unfounded;
you lead me to believe
we'd face this world together
until you fled the scene.
What a beautiful lie:
your so-called "love".
It's not what you said that hurt,
but rather, what you didn't say.
I know apologies are hard,
but nothing good is easy.
It's not what you said that hurt,
but rather, what you didn't say.
I know apologies are hard,
but that's your loss and you're mine.
Send me from this hell
to the next one.
Rip my heart right out
from my chest.
With all this time I've spent inside,
you'd think I'd open up more windows,
but I know better than
to let anyone in now.
What a beautiful lie:
your so-called "love".
It's not what you said that hurt,
but rather, what you didn't say.
I know apologies are hard,
but nothing good is easy.
It's not what you said that hurt,
but rather, what you didn't say.
I know apologies are hard,
but that's your loss and you're mine.
...but that's your loss and you're mine.
So don't take my hand; I
don't wanna love you.
Memories are too much
and not enough.
Memories are too much
and not enough.
It's not what you said that hurt,
but rather, what you didn't say.
I know apologies are hard,
but nothing good is easy.
It's not what you said that hurt,
but rather, what you didn't say.
I know apologies are hard...
I know, I know...

Summer days with western rain
fill the dam of past love's pain.
You find, sometimes, you miss her so,
but she's come and gone like Winter's snow.
Winter, where are you, now?
I miss you so I need to know if
you miss me, too.
Winter, how are you?
Seasons change and so does she.
She's not the one she used to be.
Still you find you miss her so,
but December ended months ago.
Winter, where are you, now?
I miss you so I need to know if
you miss me, too.
Winter, how are you?
You should've held on tight
'til your knuckles turn white.
While loving leads to ohs and exes,
mistletoe ain't just for Xmas.
Winter, where are you, now?
Winter, how are you, now?
Winter, who are you?

We could pirouette together on the street.
You said you'd hold on tight to me.
You said you'd keep me on my feet.
Don't say what you don't mean.
This world is spinning slowly.
I've been known to be so clumsy
on my own.
Will you catch me when I fall?
I hope so.
We were almost exclusive.
I've convinced myself it's
not so lonely without you here,
so don't tell me to see
what I can't perceive and
don't tell me to say
you've been by my side the whole time.
You toss me aside 'cause
you know I bruise so easy.
I thought I was clever
until you played me the fool.
Can't figure out why I
keep coming back to this line:
"you knew I'd die for you,
but you never asked why."
Shaking knees and fumbling sheets:
what have you done without me?
My heart won't settle, but
you could do better than me.
After all, I can't be
eighteen forever, now--
eighteen forever, now,
so I'll watch you fall into
the arms of another man--
the arms of another man.
I cannot explain
why pieces won't take shape.
These passions stay the same.
Brought me to my knees,
scrapes from the concrete,
and you're the one to leave,
so...
You toss me aside 'cause
you know I bruise so easy.
I thought I was clever
until you played me the fool.
Can't figure out why I
keep coming back to this line:
"you knew I'd die for you,
but you never asked why."
Shaking knees and fumbling sheets:
what have you done without me?
My heart won't settle, but
I can't do much better than you.
After all, I can't be
eighteen forever, now--
eighteen forever, now,
so I'll watch you fall into
the arms of another man--
the arms of another man.
Convince myself it's in my head.
Collision course with the end.
You said I've changed; I'd hope so.
