When you decided to walk away                                       Many rooms to explore
When you decided to walk away                                       but the doors look the same                                            He ask me once if I’d look in on his dog
                                                                    I am lost I can’t even remember my name                                You made an offer for it then you ran off
The one that would be breaking my heart                                                                                                    I got this picture of us kids in my head
When you decided to walk away                                       I’ve been for sometime                                                 And all I hear is the last thing that you said
When you decided to walk away                                       Looking for someone
                                                                    I need to know now                                                     ‘I listened to your problems

This is a game of love                                              There are so many things

But I never really know where to go
So I chained myself to a friend                                                                                                        A painter in my mind

’Cause I know it unlocks like a door                                 I know your life is speeding and it isn’t stopping
                                                                     Here take my shirt and just go ahead                              A tourist in a dream
It didn’t matter what they wanted to see                             and wipe up all the
He thought he saw someone that looked just like me                                                                                     A visitor it seems

The summer memory that just never dies
We worked too long and hard to give it no time                                                                                         Where do I belong

He sees right through me it’s so easy with lies                      Lose yourself     to dance
Cracks in the road that I would try and disguise                     Lose yourself     to dance
He runs his scissor at the seem in the wall                                                                                            Kiss

1000 lonely stars, hiding in the cold
Take it, I don’t want to sing anymore                                                                                                  How do I begin

‘I listened to your problems                                         Lose yourself     to dance
Now listen to mine’                                                                                                                    Touch, where do you lead

I didn’t want to anymore

And we will never be alone again                                     Getting ready for more
‘Cause it doesn’t happen every day
