Too Tired to Run

There was a time when I could make your bright eyes gleam Now smiles upon your face are few and far between We were so young, naive and blind in all our pride To see the warning, the turning of the tide And I guess it's best we laid to rest All that we had and all we hope for It's time to close the door Stand here by my side and watch the river flow Through fields once green, where our garden used to grow Life goes by so fast and time waits for no one Too long we stared into the sun Now days are growing dark and we're too tired to run Now that we've lost the flame, the beauty of it all Our symmetry of souls reduced to metaphor We live, we learn some things are impossible to do And still I need you more than I want to But I guess it's best we laid to rest All that we had and all that we hoped for It's time to close the door Stand here by my side and watch the river flow Through fields once green, where our garden used to grow Life goes by so fast and time waits for no one Too long we stared into the sun Now days are growing dark and we're too tired to run I could've been worse, but I should've been better Should've been there 'cause I said "forever" Now I'm here wondering what Should've, could've, would've been and I could've said more 'cause the words they matter Should've been strong so you wouldn't have shattered But I'm here wondering what Should've, could've, would've been And I hope he gives more than I did All that you need and all that you hope for Stand here by my side and watch the river flow Through fields once green, where our garden used to grow Life goes by so fast, so hold me one last time You'll always be true love of mine And when the day is through, I'm watching over you
