lyrics

Can you remember the way we played in the sun
Lost in summer meadows we would run and run and run
August memories turned so cold and so grey
No more hiding from the monsters lurking in the shade

There was never any room for me to speak my mind
In the house where silence festers deep inside
I’d tell them all the truth if I wasn’t so ashamed
Hated when I’m different but blamed for being the same

Autumn leaves and winter’s darkness falls
I hoped that you would be there for me through it all
How much can we take till we’re not children anymore
The pieces of our innocence are locked behind the door

I wish I could go back to those better days
I'm on the road to childhood’s end but I can't find my way

The month of January is so full of woe
Packed my bags but don’t know where to go
Reaching out to you across the great divide
Thirty-one or a thousand days you’ve been on my mind

I wish I could go back to those better days
I'm on the road to childhood's end but I can't find my way
When I had you by my side I could never feel alone
Then you broke my heart when you left me in the cold

Scrape the dust from the photograph on the shelf
It’s like a mirror but I don’t see myself
Looking back from behind the tear-stained glass
How long can I cling on to the past
I’m a captive of my fate
Locked away deep inside a house of hate
We threw away the key
I buried it with my memories
Of all our hopes and all our dreams
Exhausted all of my energy
Imagining the things we could have been
All the things we could have been
All the things we could have been
We could have been anything

I know I can’t go back to those better days
I'm not a child anymore and I will find my way
You'll be watching over me, see how much I've grown
I'll keep you in my heart so I never feel alone
