This Night is Cold

This night is cold 

And these words feel old 

But still they do roam 

Without a home inside my head 

These thoughts are mine 

Remnants of time 

Memories that I never remember 

To forget 

I’m trying to leave some things behind

I don’t need these false dreams
Crowding up my mind 

But some illusions refuse to die

Oh these thoughts of you

They go too far 

I don’t even know where you are 

Why does it have to be so hard with you?

What we have now 

Is a game we’ve learned how 

To play very well 

Letting time tell 

All that we won’t 

Am I deceived?

Or am I relieved? 

Is it silence I need 

Wounds that don’t bleed 

When it doesn’t work out 

Some things are left best behind 

I don’t need this false hope 

Crowding up my mind 

But some things still survive

Oh these thoughts of you

They go too far 

I don’t even know who you are 

Why does it have to be so hard with you?

And the things that should mean the most 

Don’t come very close 

Don’t come very close 

Oh so much is lost on me 

It’s a tragedy 

I cannot believe 

That I’m not complete

I am not completely 

Able to forget 

Some things are better left behind

I don’t need these false dreams
Crowding up my mind 

But some illusions just will not die

Oh these thoughts of you

I can’t undo 

Though none of them ever came true 

Why can’t I just let go of you?
