The times I remember are far more than embers of
Long lost nights in silent December
When we'd sit there in our childish liturgy
When the hand I was holding was the hand that was scolding me
And I let go in the moment you were trembling
To see if you would get up off the floor
And I'm in love with the you I knew before
And in my mind you inscribed every contour of
Thick disguise that encased your sorrows
As you whispered, "forever I am yours"
Then drive I did when your words weren't so welcoming
And I gave up as the sun was beckoning
The sky to scream in colors from me you'd torn
And I'm in love with the you I knew before
And I don't know if I'll love you anymore
Soft and sweetly, too discreetly
Hide me from your loves anew
Come December I'll remember
Everything they never knew
I'm in love with the you I knew before
And I don't know if I'll love you anymore
Cause I'm in love with the you I knew before
And I don't know if I'll love you anymore
Waste, don't waste my time
Tear your heart from mine
Save your energy for the next love you'll run away from
