I remember black skies lit up by green-blue eyes
It was my first time the scars still ache sometimes
Thought I'd be stronger the longer I stayed away
I'm jaded I'm tempered by my old flames
It's getting hard to believe that there were better days
When every night is spent a single drink from fading away
I wish the things she said were all the things she meant
It's not my first time around and I can tell that she's down
On her luck but it's a battle just to get me to hear her
After all these years
She was my constant we never faltered
Before I woke up from that sweet dream starring her
It was her poison lips it was her shadow eyes
That pulled me down the road to never-ending compromise
So don't you speak my name
You fooled me once now it's never gonna happen again
Cause I know I'll be something great
And I know that you'll stay the same
I wish the things she said were all the things she meant
It's not my first time around and I can tell that she's down
On her luck but it's a battle just to get me to hear her
After all these years
Another wrong move by the right girl
Makes another cold heart in a bitter world
So hold on if you know what you have is real
Cause god knows there are wounds that time can't heal
Another wrong move by the right girl (So don't you speak my name)
Makes another cold heart in a bitter world
So hold on if you know what you have is
real (Cause I know I'll be something great)
Cause god knows there are wounds that time can't heal
I wish the things she said were all the things she meant
It's not my first time around and I can tell that she's down
On her luck but it's a battle just to get me to hear her
After all these years
You told me you need to find yourself
I told everyone I'm fine by myself
This is the way that it ends no matter how we try
So have the decency to say goodbye
