[Verse 1] You're in the back of my mind Knocking at the door of my memories You sneak inside a window when it becomes too quiet I'm startled out of my thoughts when it's replaced with your face My stomach clenches when I recall the sound of your laughter Sometimes it makes me smile, sometimes I might cry [Pre-Chorus] You're with me once again And it's always a surprise [Chorus] Time marches on, I'm tiptoeing in the past You're growing further away, you're moving too fast I thought I was a good shot, but somehow I missed the mark Trying to light a flame without a spark You were my reason, I can't deny I know I lost myself in you I try to live this life, but I feel like a shadow that lost the sun I'm invisible in the shade, seen by no one [Verse 2] I didn't need another lesson You knocked me out, K.O It wasn't a game to me, but I guess you win Congratulations are in order You won my heart, then you broke it when you stomped all over it I wear the scars like a tattoo, so I'll never forget you But sometimes I wish I never met you [Chorus] You were my reason, I can't deny I know I lost myself in you Now no matter how hard I try I cannot hate you, I cannot erase you I wonder if there will ever be a day When there's an answer to my why It's the only key to see my own prison from the outside [Guitar Solo] [Outro] Now no matter how hard I try I cannot hate you, I cannot erase you I wonder if there will ever be a day When there's an answer to my why It's the only key to see my own prison from the outside
