Always on My Mind

I thought I would be content
To watch the summers die and give away my heart
I thought my light had all been spent
I was chasing after fireflies in the dark
And you were only here for hours
But your flame caught my kindling
I burned at your power

So you can take back what you said that night
But you can't take back waltzing into my life
With small steps, you strode into my soul
And proceeded to unlink the chains I use for self-control

And you're always on my, always on my mind
Yeah you're always on my, always on my mind
And I've tried so hard to leave you far behind
But you're always on my, always on my mind
You're always on my mind

I thought I was on the eve
Of rising into greatness, of shooting into fame
I thought you were just naive
To not understand that I'd soon be a name
I dreamed that I would soon be crowned
With applause of the people, to the cheering of the crowd

Let's give them a show while we're still around

So I can take back everything I planned
But I can't take back everything that I am
An ambitious boy that wants to have it all
His name in all the histories and on every child's wall

And that's always on my, always on my mind
Yeah that's always on my, always on my mind
And I never rest because I'm blessed with such enterprise
It's always on my, always on my mind
Always on my mind

I was right and wrong
I loved you, just not for very long
You were violent and pure
You cut me down and that became the cure
If I'm dying I wanna know what for

So you should let go of all your charms and grace
'Cause I have let go and I have lost my way
With strong hands you pulled me from the black
But each day since you left me I slip a little further back

And that's always on my, always on my mind
Yeah that's always on my, always on my mind
And I've never been so scared, but I find it hard to care
When you're always on my, always on my mind
You're always on my mind

Always on my mind
