Passing

Back again Back in this old house but It's not the same All the colors turned to gray I just don't think that I can stay Footsteps echo through these halls, they're deafening Breaking silence in my heart Wish I played a bigger part Wish I believed I didn't see this happening That this caught me by surprise But you were always on my mind Empty walls Curtains gone But your scent still lingers I had the time I just let it slip right through my fingers Hesitate Hesitate to walk on through. It's just the same Every day for twenty years Now becoming are my fears The weight of everything could crack my glass-like eyes I guess this is the path I chose Now this chapter has been closed Empty walls Curtains gone But your scent still lingers I had the time I just let it slip right through my fingers I held my head up for too long, but now I'm done Just hear my final words and right all that I've wronged I swear I won't But as the days go by I see I'm on that path And all the promises I make, they never last Empty walls Curtains gone But your scent still lingers I had the time I just let it slip right through my fingers And all the words I left unsaid Just know I meant them
