Lyric

I weighed my love against the dreams I sought to find

But hollow days are all that’s left behind

To say I was young, just a reckless mistake

Is a poor excuse for the heart that I’d break

The days of our youth, they won’t return again

Lost in the static, washed out by the rain

If I had chased you through the pouring rain

Running and calling to ease all your pain

I’d be wrapped in the warmth of your golden light

Smiling so softly, making things right

The man I should be, instead of this ghost in the night

Who did I think could ever take your place?

A foolish gamble in an empty race

Now everything I do only brings back the sting

Of a debt I can’t pay for the sorrow I bring

How do I mend what I tore all apart?

Where is the end for this bleeding heart?

If I had held you through the pouring rain

Shared every ounce of the grief and the strain

In a world of contentment, we’d drift off to sleep

Safe in a promise I meant to keep

Watching you dream, in a love that was holy and deep

You trusted me once, with a smile so true

If I had never let go of you

The storm of regret wouldn’t howl in my head

Sinking in silence, on this lonely bed

If I had chased you through the pouring rain

Running and calling to ease all your pain

I’d be wrapped in the warmth of your golden light

Smiling so softly, making things right

The weight of the scale

Sinking in the grey

If I had only followed you
