Too Tired to Run

There was a time when I could make your bright eyes gleam
 Now smiles upon your face are few and far between
 We were so young, naive and blind in all our pride
 To see the warning, the turning of the tide
 And I guess it's best we laid to rest
 All that we had and all we hope for
 It's time to close the door
 Stand here by my side and watch the river flow
 Through fields once green, where our garden used to grow
 Life goes by so fast and time waits for no one
 Too long we stared into the sun
 Now days are growing dark and we're too tired to run
 Now that we've lost the flame, the beauty of it all
 Our symmetry of souls reduced to metaphor
 We live, we learn some things are impossible to do
 And still I need you more than I want to
 But I guess it's best we laid to rest
 All that we had and all that we hoped for
 It's time to close the door
 Stand here by my side and watch the river flow
 Through fields once green, where our garden used to grow
 Life goes by so fast and time waits for no one
 Too long we stared into the sun
 Now days are growing dark and we're too tired to run
 I could've been worse, but I should've been better
 Should've been there 'cause I said "forever"
 Now I'm here wondering what
 Should've, could've, would've been and
 I could've said more 'cause the words they matter
 Should've been strong so you wouldn't have shattered
 But I'm here wondering what
 Should've, could've, would've been
 And I hope he gives more than I did
 All that you need and all that you hope for
 ♪
 Stand here by my side and watch the river flow
 Through fields once green, where our garden used to grow
 Life goes by so fast, so hold me one last time
 You'll always be true love of mine
 And when the day is through, I'm watching over you
