Like the light was all I had I struck the book with my last match The candle burned so soft and slow I felt the warmth and felt its glow Salt tasting tears They roll of of my lips One for each day I'm inside this house, it's a trap One I can't quite escape so pretend it's the place that I love Won't let it pa** me by again Won't let it pa** me by again The gra** was clipped The summer sun Was beating down on my front yard All the boys and girls would laugh I'd watch them through the curtain's crack
Place all your bets and watch me lose The life that I got but never used Dream every night that one will come true But only bad ones ever do Won't let it pa** me by again Won't let it pa** me by again My heart beats way too fast To let regret sit in my lap Won't let it pa** me by again Won't let it pa** me by again (Won't let this pa** me by again) Won't let it pa** me by again (Won't let this pa** me by again) Won't let it pa** me by again
