Lyrics
The dusk has fallen On the night you leave this all behind Follow his direction And you give no thought to mine And that's not alright with me But who am I to ask you to stay? There's nothing for you here If I were you, I'd do the same You could say That I never really let you go And you could say That my heart holds a love my pride won't show You could say You'll always love me as a friend And I'll smile and pretend That nothing happened Take away the looks, the charm Then tell me, what's he got on me? I lived your life for just as long I am just a memory So I'll take the long way home And park outside your house one last time There's nothing for me here I'll spend the night, drive home in sunlight You could say That I never really let you go And you could say That my heart holds a love my pride won't show You could say You'll always love me as a friend And I'll smile and pretend That I don't regret the things I said Lies will never fail to spread But our demise was not exaggerated Not exaggerated You could say That I never really let you go And you could say That my heart holds a love my pride won't show You could say You'll always love me as a friend And I'll smile and pretend That nothing happened
