the sun shines sweet here mornings full of light that never fade and the stars look real here they sing my eyes to sleep when i am wide awake the roads aren t paved here i stumble over stones and when i m done i wander home but my heart sure hurts here cause everything i learned was everything i should ve known and i know i m out of line but i ve been thinking one too many times about when autumn fell and i know that heart of yours can take a beating but i swear i tried to fix you up and treat you well i ve got a way with words now i bend them till they break entirely i try to write them all down but it s not the same as when you wrote them back to me i ll say i d rather take it all for granted than change my ways and learn to follow through i ve gotten good at blaming this on chance and it isn t hard to see i m just no good for you and now i know i ve lost you i told myself i wouldn t say a word about the way i ve held you i sing alone and hope somehow you might have heard the sounds of every city in between us and every single word that didn t rhyme just leave me as you found me in december and promise not to wake me when you leave this time
