I get by, but I'm tired of myself And I doubt that I ever will find someone else Lonely days fall like drops in the lake of our love I just want it to be like it was And I want you to be as you were long ago I go down to the edge of the lake Where I wait through the night for the dawn light to break Memories of yore crash like waves on the shore of my mind And I pray that the stars will align I just want us to be who we were long ago I just want what was How I yearn for the years we were young and in love I get by, but it's hard to forget In the smoke of denial and the fog of regret Dismal and dark, some like clouds in the sky of my soul And I hear thunder roll I look up at the uncaring sky With a prayer on my lips and a tear in my eye Oh, how the heart burns like fire in the light of the moon I just hope you'll be coming back soon You're my long-lost love Can we wind back the wheels to the way that it was?

If I only knew that day That you would start to fade away And you don't get what I get Let me show you That you don't see what I see When I'm with you If you don't get what I see tell me why you Call me out on Friday To fuck it all up on Sunday With those couple of couple of things you said Like double up double up get ahead Then stir up trouble up trouble until we break harder Tell me do you remember Your teardrops of September They were just drops of salted water Now you're chasing death at every corner Now you're chasing pain along the border Tell me do you still remember Easier to feel pain Than to feel nothing again Then you just say what you say Let me with her Cause I can't feel a thing well I'd rather Be killing pain in her bed seems sweeter Drop dead feelings and black clouds Bullshit talking, why you Acting like you forgot those things you said Those couple of couple of cry for help Senseless, motionless cause your heart Breaks harder that way Tell me do you remember Your teardrops of September They were just drops of salted water Now you're chasing death at every corner Now you're chasing pain along the border Tell me do you still remember Tell me do you remember Your teardrops of September They were just drops of salted water Now you're chasing death at every corner Now you're chasing pain along the border Tell me do you still remember

Hear the noise, tonight You've burned down your light Breathe you in, hold you down You don't have to tread the line Stop the noise Words getting louder Try to hide like a child Hard to see and too hard to find You don't have to tread the line You don't have to tread the line And does it hurt you? Do you feel when I try to touch? And are you scared now? If I open up maybe you will When soldiers are calling Just run through the night glo Drown out the voices And you know you don't have to go And you know you don't have to go Kill the noise tonight You've burned down your light All the kings and all their men Can't put you together again Can't put you together again And does it hurt you? Do you feel when I try to touch? And are you scared now? If I open up maybe you will When soldiers are calling Just run through the night glo Drown out the voices And you know you don't have to go And does it hurt you? Do you feel when I try to touch? And are you scared now? If I open up maybe you will Soldiers are calling Just run through the night glo Drown out the voices And you know you don't have to go When soldiers are calling Just run through the night glo Drown out the voices And you know you don't have to go
