lyrics

Wear a blindfold to block it out
I can’t see it and it can’t hurt me, it goes away
You’re not with him, you don’t know him
And I don’t know you anymore
What am I trying to say?

I think about you together
I have a drink and remember
Back when I had you forever

Empty faces, they all look like you
And in the mirror all I see is just a pale blue shadow
And pale blue tears fall full of pale blue memories
From pale blue eyes, oh linger on
And tell me that it’s not so bad

I guess I could have tried harder
And maybe I broke your heart
Why can’t we both be the martyr?

I can remember every smile and every teardrop
Every time you called my name
All these memories, I’ve had enough

I think about you together
And I have another drink
And remember, yeah

So let the cards fall, I’ve played my part
And I can’t see myself running back to you for any reason
Have I changed much? Yeah, but does it matter
When every day has become a bright and shining season?
Maybe I’m just fooling myself
I guess we’ll have to wait and see
Just one more thing—and this time I mean it
I loved you
But the time has come to let it be
