We had it all
|
We were young lovers
|
We were full of trust and faith
|
We were dead set on making
|
It last forever
|
Forever and a day
|
I recall it was fall last year
|
When it started to die
|
|
Standing still
|
As the temperature kills
|
The summer's thrills
|
That were keeping it alive
|
The days got colder
|
So I held you closer
|
In effort to save us some time
|
Almost like the wind came
|
And ruined the spark
|
And left us in the dark
|
|
But hey,
|
I could've told you
|
That I loved you and stayed
|
Around to kindle the fire
|
But I was late. on my return
|
And now you've lost all faith
|
And I am the liar
|
I'm no longer what you require
|
|
I still feel you at night
|
Turning in the sheets
|
When I turn out the light
|
That's how it goes
|
The ghost of your first love
|
Won't ever leave you
|
Till the day that you die
|
|
I won't ever live down
|
Leaving her behind
|
Even if the choice was the right one
|
It was a good thing
|
Staring me right in the face
|
But I turned and ran away
|
|
Hey,
|
I could've told you
|
That I loved you and stayed
|
Around to kindle the fire
|
But I was late, on my return
|
And now you've lost all faith
|
And I am the liar
|
I'm no longer what you require
|
|
Back then
|
The days were so much faster
|
We were young, stubborn
|
And in love with disaster
|
|
You know you can't go back
|
Even if you try
|
You better just forget her
|
Won't you close the door on me
|
Cause it'll never be the same
|
It'll never be the way
|
It was before
|
|
Well hey,
|
I could've told you
|
That I loved you and stayed
|
Around to kindle the fire
|
But I was late, on my return
|
And now you've lost all faith
|
And I am the liar
|
|
Oh hey,
|
I would've told you
|
That I loved you and stayed
|
Around to kindle the fire
|
But I was late, on my return
|
And so you've lost all faith
|
|
In the dying light
|
I'm no longer what you require
|
I'm no longer what you require
|
No longer
|
|

No Longer What You Require
