Lyrics
Woke up this morning with the sunlight breaking through,
Thought about the things we said, the battle we went through.
You packed your bags leaving my heart on the floor,
Now I'm singing to your shadow, can't take it anymore.
Because you can't say I'm sorry, you can't turn back the time,
The words you never spoke, they're still haunting me tonight.
We used to be able to fix what we broke,
But now it seems you think it's all a lost joke.
I tried to pick up the pieces, they slip right through my hands,
Looking for a remedy in these empty, crowded stands.
Your laughter lingers softly, like a ghost in my mind,
But the road that brought us here has left us so blind.
Because you can't say I'm sorry, you can't turn back the time,
The words you never spoke, they're still haunting me tonight.
We used to be able to fix what we broke,
But now it seems you think it's all a lost joke.
It happened tonight, under the bright neon lights,
I drowned in my sorrows with a melody that bites.
We once were wild and free, but now that's a memory,
About a heart that can't mend, because you took it away.
Because you can't say I'm sorry, you can't turn back the time,
The words you never spoke, they're still haunting me tonight.
We used to be able to fix what we broke,
But now it seems you think it's all a lost joke.
