Left the porch light on to watch the rain Wash away the driveway once again Sitting in the quiet, perfectly still Nothing left to offer, an empty will Found the letter you wrote in '99 Wondering how we crossed over the line Time won't make it right Barely sleeping through the night Every time I close my eyes I see the compromise I'm sinking in the memory of who we used to be Before the bitter arguments and all the jealousy I wanted to protect you from the things I couldn't hide But all I did was push you to the other side Now I'm staring at the ceiling in an empty room Waiting for the morning to cut through the gloom Packed the boxes sitting in the hall Took the pictures down off the wall Funny how the physical brings the pain A sudden panic I can't explain I know you found somebody new But I am still bleeding over you Time won't make it right Barely sleeping through the night Every time I close my eyes I see the compromise I'm sinking in the memory of who we used to be Before the bitter arguments and all the jealousy I wanted to protect you from the things I couldn't hide But all I did was push you to the other side Now I'm staring at the ceiling in an empty room Waiting for the morning to cut through the gloom Called your number, hung up at the tone Realized I should leave it alone I don't expect forgiveness now Just hoping that you see somehow I can't rewrite history! Can't undo the tragedy! Living with the choices made! Watching the foundation fade! I made the bed! I'm lying in it now! I'm sinking in the memory of who we used to be Before the bitter arguments and all the jealousy I wanted to protect you from the things I couldn't hide But all I did was push you to the other side Now I'm staring at the ceiling in an empty room Waiting for the morning to cut through the gloom From the things I couldn't hide. Tried to keep it all inside. But these are things I couldn't hide. The things I couldn't hide.
