If you ever turn, if you ever stop, and ask the question
If you only knew the right question
Take a look around, you're the only one still here
And the lights went out hours ago
It all started out, so innocent
Is where we are so wrong?
Don't cry, I only hurt you once and then you walk away
Just try to learn to stay
If you ever go to another place just know I'm trying
To keep what I can together
I'm seeing for a time, I can never fill the empty space that you
Keep inside to be more alone
It all started out so innocent
Is where we are so wrong?
Don't cry, I only hurt you once and then you walk away
Just try to learn to stay
I know the clouds are coming (but it's not enough to tell)
The way the sunlight's burning (it brings another day)
Don't go (don't go) no matter what I say
Just play
Then there's kind of an ending verse
I wanted to see you just one last time before your flight
I wanted to be your fuse on the fourth of July
I wanted to see you just one last time before you go
I wanted to only, let you know
Then play G Em C a few times repeating the words "let you know" every once in a while, and then end on G.
