lyrics

I couldn’t be what you wanted me to be so I guess I’ll be nothing
And I couldn’t see what you wanted me to see so I guess I won’t see
Places and faces all fade to black every time I think about them
But you wouldn’t know cause you’re long gone now and you ain’t coming back

It’s a long way down
Every time that you fall
And I – see it in your eyes
I see it your eyes
And it breaks my heart in two

Looking back now on the times we had doesn’t make it any better
I try not to dwell on it all too much ‘cause we were who we were
Every now and then I still wonder how it all fell to pieces
But the answers don’t mean too much I guess ‘cause it is what it is

It’s a long way down
Every time that you fall
And I – see it in your eyes
I see it your eyes
And it breaks my heart in two

Any time the wind still blows your name well I find myself in sorrow
It’s ok though I’ll get by and move on just the same
Every new day brings a distance now to keep it altogether
And I don’t need to worry none ‘cause I know that you ain’t coming back

It’s a long way down
Every time that you fall
And I – see it in your eyes
I see it your eyes
And it breaks my heart in two
