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 tear 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 pretent it's the place that I love Won't let it pass me by again Won't let it pass me by again The grass 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 every do Won't let it pass me by again Won't let it pass me by again My heart beats way too fast To let regret sit in my lap Won't let it pass me by again Won't let it pass me by again (Won't let this pass me by again) Won't let it pass me by again (Won't let this pass me by again) Won't let it pass me by again
