Lyrics Too Tired to Run - Cain's Offering

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
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
