Green Light
Here's to your green light across the bay
They said I'm lost in the past but I can't seem to change
Still desperate trying to take your hand
Part of me thinks that I still can, but I can't
We're not friends, not enemies
Just strangers with memories I know
Now I'm out of sight and both our minds
Now's all said and done, and you're
Unattainable
You painted me a scarlet letter
So why can't I stop hoping, hoping, hoping for you
How was I to know our days were numbered
That your promises meant as little as I did
How was I to know
Can't stand not knowing, knowing, knowing
How can I let you go
Hoping, hoping, hoping
Here's to a new pink rose by any name but mine
And I know that she don't smell as sweet
They said it never occurred to you
I never stopped loving you even as I watched you leave
We're not friends, not enemies
Just strangers with memories I know
Now I'm out of sight and both our minds
They said to say goodbye
But you're inescapable
How could it get better
When once I was your forever, can't stop hoping, hoping for you
How was I to know our days were numbered
That your promises meant as little as I did
How was I to know
Can't stand not knowing, knowing, knowing
How can I let you go
Hoping, hoping, hoping
Our love
Was my whole world
Now it's a shoebox underneath my bed
And all I know
Is a hopeless romantic, can't move on or get past it
She can't stop looking back and
Hoping she'll wake up and you never left
Well hope is destructive like that
Cause you're unattainable
And you painted me a scarlet letter
So why can't I stop hoping, hoping, hoping for you
How was I to know our days were numbered
That your promises meant as little as I did
How was I to know
A dream so close just standing over there
I can't seem to seem to make you care
I hope your green light will find the day
It flickers once
And goes out
They said I'm lost in the past but I can't seem to change
Still desperate trying to take your hand
Part of me thinks that I still can, but I can't
We're not friends, not enemies
Just strangers with memories I know
Now I'm out of sight and both our minds
Now's all said and done, and you're
Unattainable
You painted me a scarlet letter
So why can't I stop hoping, hoping, hoping for you
How was I to know our days were numbered
That your promises meant as little as I did
How was I to know
Can't stand not knowing, knowing, knowing
How can I let you go
Hoping, hoping, hoping
Here's to a new pink rose by any name but mine
And I know that she don't smell as sweet
They said it never occurred to you
I never stopped loving you even as I watched you leave
We're not friends, not enemies
Just strangers with memories I know
Now I'm out of sight and both our minds
They said to say goodbye
But you're inescapable
How could it get better
When once I was your forever, can't stop hoping, hoping for you
How was I to know our days were numbered
That your promises meant as little as I did
How was I to know
Can't stand not knowing, knowing, knowing
How can I let you go
Hoping, hoping, hoping
Our love
Was my whole world
Now it's a shoebox underneath my bed
And all I know
Is a hopeless romantic, can't move on or get past it
She can't stop looking back and
Hoping she'll wake up and you never left
Well hope is destructive like that
Cause you're unattainable
And you painted me a scarlet letter
So why can't I stop hoping, hoping, hoping for you
How was I to know our days were numbered
That your promises meant as little as I did
How was I to know
A dream so close just standing over there
I can't seem to seem to make you care
I hope your green light will find the day
It flickers once
And goes out
