I've been waiting here for you for so long
and it's been several weeks since I last saw you there
if you had only come around again
then I might have said to you what I've been thinking of
she's more than beautiful at night
when all of her stars are out and still sometimes
when it's warm and quiet I'll get thinking about summer in st. claire
these days are getting shorter as october falls
and with it come the coldest memories
I own and like the leaves that fall from trees
my dreams come slow as if to say to me
that I should let it go she's more than beautiful at night
when all of her stars are out and still sometimes
I wonder why she was crying her eyes out
I guess I'll never know lying in bed wishing
I was someone else instead
I've got to figure this one out just between you and me and god
everybody needs some time to heal
everybody needs
like everybody bleeds
can't we sit and talk about all that we've loved and lost
and what it's cost and I'll put on a show for you
pretending not to hurt like nothings ever wrong
and you'll see right through me
and I'll be here for you
and you'll be there for me
and I'll feign strong
and you'll see right through me
