Lyric

In uneven shapes and sizes

Our love falls apart

I kept it hidden deep inside

The truth within my heart

Still unknown to you, right from the start

It’s much too late

To say the words I should have said

It's far too late

The chance I had has long since fled

A distant past, a story that I've read

"I want you to notice"

Words I could never say

So I pretend I’m fine

To get me through the day

Fixing up the broken pieces, hiding them away

Keeping the secret until I turn to gray

"It's better this way"

That's what I told myself to stay okay

Keeping it all inside

The memories I saved

Now they’re worn and frayed

Covered in scars from the life I’ve braved

Sculpting a dream from the path I paved

Suddenly spilling over

Nonsense words I didn’t mean

Dancing in the empty air

Disappearing from the scene

Before I even knew it

The reason I’m still here

Slipped away and faded

Leaving nothing clear

But it keeps on growing, changing through the year

Right inside my soul, ever so near

By the side of peace and quiet

Bathed in a faint and gentle light

And so I pray

Even if it won’t come true

I’ll keep on singing here

Of meetings, partings, and losing you

Passing each other by, in everything we do

Beyond the layers of the past

Putting a sliver of hope

Into a future that might last

I’ve faced the morning light alone

So many times before

And the loneliness of the night

Is still knocking at my door

I’m not used to it, I can’t take any more

But you know

Just a little bit, right now

I’ve finally reached the place

Where I can look back

And call it "nostalgic" with a smile on my face
