I sit outside, it’s dark tonight.
I wonder how I ever let this happen,
but this outcome, I knew it all too well.
Selfish antics and stubborn habits
keep us from those people who we’d die for.
But we’re still alive. Still bleeding this out.
So take me to the auction, give me value, give me something to hold onto.
I can’t do this for myself.
You saved one last hope for me in a familiar smile that I can’t seem to find.
Once light blue, a radiance that matched the clearest skies.
I never said goodbye and I guess it’s been a while now.
Have the years replaced the images of youth,
those memories you wouldn’t trade?
Does a darker hue of that friendly smile shine?
When it’s all said and done I hope you find you say,
you’re a better man than me.
When it’s all said and done I hope you find your way... with or without me.
Once light blue, a radiance that matched the clearest skies.
