| Like the light was all I had
|
| I struck the book with my last match
|
| The candle burned so soft and slow
|
| I felt the warmth and felt its glow
|
| Salt-tasting tears, they roll off of my lips
|
| One for each day I’m inside this house, it’s a trap
|
| One I can’t quite escape so pretend it’s the place that I love
|
| Won’t let it pass me by again
|
| Won’t let it pass me by again
|
| The grass was clipped
|
| The summer sun was beating down on my front yard
|
| All the boys and girls would laugh
|
| I’d watch them through the curtain’s crack
|
| Place all your bets and watch me lose
|
| The life that I got but never used
|
| I dream every night that one will come true
|
| But only bad ones ever do
|
| Won’t let it pass me by again
|
| Won’t let it pass me by again
|
| My heart beats way too fast
|
| To let regret sit in my lap
|
| Won’t let it pass me by again
|
| Won’t let it pass me by again
|
| (Won't let this pass me by again) Won’t let it pass me by again
|
| (Won't let this pass me by again) Won’t let it pass me by again |
