[Verse 1] Don’t ask me to come back to yesterday That road is closing in I spent too long waiting For a door that wouldn’t open I won’t stay home I’ve carried every scar I own Through every sleepless night I learned the things I couldn’t change And finally faced my life Don’t tell me I can’t say it I have to say it this time Oh, please, don’t let the rain come down tonight [Chorus] Oh my God, it’s been so long I always thought we’d make it home But love can’t make somebody stay Who planted all these seeds? Who taught my heart to believe? And what is the truth? What truth survives when everything changes? Weren’t we supposed to grow old? [Verse 2] My memory lies down to sleep But I still remember what we lost The years we thought were certain The things we never said enough God help me I wasn’t ready For the distance between us For the silence in the room For realizing I could love you And still have to let you go They say the wind still carries Everything we leave behind Oh, please, don’t let the rain come down tonight [Chorus] Oh my God, it’s been so long I always thought we’d make it home But love can’t make somebody stay Who planted all these seeds? Who taught my heart to believe? And what is the truth? What truth survives when everything changes? Weren’t we supposed to grow old? [Verse 3] The sky knows what is coming And I can’t shelter from it now So much has changed around me I barely recognize this house You wouldn’t know me anymore I’m not the man I was before I spent my life trying to hold on Now I’m learning how to stand Just wake me when the sun comes up I don’t want to hide from myself Not for the sake of lost causes Not for a love that’s already gone But was it love? [Final Chorus] Oh my God, it’s been so long I always thought we’d make it home But love can’t make somebody stay Who planted all these seeds? Who taught my heart to believe? And what is the truth? What truth survives when everything changes? Weren’t we supposed to grow old? [Outro] It’s alright… Maybe it can be. Some things can be true And still come to an end. It’s alright… Maybe it can be. I loved you. And now I have to find me.
