He had it all, we were young lovers We were full of trust and faith We were dead set on making it last forever, forever and a day I recall it was fall last year when it started to die Standing still as the temperature kills The summer's thrills that were keeping it alive The days got colder so I held you closer In an effort to save us from time Almost like the wind came and ruined the spark And left us in the dark But I could have told you that I loved you instead Around to kindle the fire I was late on my return And now you've lost all faith And I am the liar, no longer what you require I still feel you and I Turning in the sheets when I turn out the light That's how it goes, the ghost of your first love Won't ever leave you till the day that you die I won't ever live down leaving her behind Even if the choice was the right one It was a good thing staring me right in the face But I turned and ran away I could have told you that I loved you instead Around to kindle the fire But I was late on my return And now you've lost all faith And I am the liar, no longer what you require Back then the days were so much faster We were young, stubborn, and in love with disaster Oh, we were No, we can't go back even if we try You better just forget her, won't you close the door on me Cause it'll never be the same It'll never be the way it was before No, no Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Well, hey I could have told you that I loved you instead Around to kindle the fire But I was late on my return And now you've lost all faith Cause I am the liar, oh hey I could have told you that I loved you instead Around to kindle the fire But I was late on my return And now you've lost all faith In the dying light I'm no longer what you require Cause I'm no longer what you require Thank you.
