[verse 1] I watched the sunrise today It rose slowly above the horizon I sat alone on the porch sippin’ coffee And watched the sky alone At first, all is dark and quiet And then the sky turns misty-gray Followed by a touch of violet And then orange-pink to start the day Just when I start to feel hopeful As the fresh new day is bathed in light I remember you’re not coming home And we can’t make this one right [pre-chorus] Just like the sunrise Being alone is no surprise But today the colors are different And it’s difficult to face it [chorus] All that remains Are dreams and bones Not enough to build a home It was time for you to go I understand that now We couldn’t keep it goin’ There was nothin’ left anyhow The sunrise comes, the sunset goes I’ll be watchin’ them both alone And all that is left are dreams and bones [verse 2] It wasn’t any big thing That made you leave We were past all the big fights And there were no hearts on our sleeves It was a gradual fade to silence It was years of a tired heart It was a mutual giving up It was a decision not to start It came about so slow But it was inevitable Just like the sunrise As I silently watched you go [pre-chorus] Just like the sunrise Being alone is no surprise I’ve been alone even with you Leaving was just the last thing to do [chorus] All that remains Are dreams and bones Not enough to build a home It was time for you to go I understand that now We couldn’t keep it goin’ There was nothin’ left anyhow The sunrise comes, the sunset goes I’ll be watchin’ them both alone And all that is left are dreams and bones [bridge] I want to feel hope again So I watch the painted sky I couldn’t feel hope with you Since we’ve been living in goodbye [verse 3] I don’t know which is sadder: To silently watch love die Or to kill it with anger Now I guess it really doesn’t matter I am alone with the dreams We once both shared And my tired old bones Are all that’s been spared [final chorus] All that remains Are dreams and bones Not enough to build a home It was time for you to go I understand that now We couldn’t keep it goin’ There was nothin’ left anyhow The sunrise comes, the sunset goes I’ll be watchin’ them both alone And all that is left are dreams and bones [outro] I watched the sunrise today And as the sky turned misty-gray I dreamed of the times we shared When we actually cared But now I am alone And all that remains are dreams and bones
