Gingerbread House
I fell for you like snow on the trees
On the night we walked alone at 17
And my cheeks were colored rose
But it wasn't from the cold
It was the way you looked at me
But feelings fade and your eyes don't say
"I love you" like the way they did before
And the home we made somehow became
Just bits and broken pieces on the floor
'Cause we built this gingerbread house
Four walls of sugar and flour
Built up to watch it fall down
Gumdrops and tears on the ground
So sad it goes so fast
But candy hearts weren't made to last
I guess it's just gingerbread
A gingerbread house
I guess I didn't know what you meant to me
'Til I was all alone putting up the tree
But the lights don't seem to glow
The way they did before
When you were next to me
'Cause feelings fade and I can't say
"I love you" like the way I did before
And the home we made somehow became
Just bits and broken pieces on the floor
'Cause we built this gingerbread house
Four walls of sugar and flour
Built up to watch it fall down
Gumdrops and tears on the ground
So sad it goes so fast
But candy hearts weren't made to last
I guess it's just gingerbread
Ten months I thought we were fine
Lost in the time of our lives
So high the Fourth of July
The seasons changed, and so did your mind
So sad it goes so fast
But candy hearts weren't made to last
I guess it's just gingerbread
A gingerbread house
'Cause we built this gingerbread house
Four walls of sugar and flour
Built up to watch it fall down
Gumdrops and tears on the ground
So sad it goes so fast
But candy hearts weren't made to last
I guess it's just gingerbread
On the night we walked alone at 17
And my cheeks were colored rose
But it wasn't from the cold
It was the way you looked at me
But feelings fade and your eyes don't say
"I love you" like the way they did before
And the home we made somehow became
Just bits and broken pieces on the floor
'Cause we built this gingerbread house
Four walls of sugar and flour
Built up to watch it fall down
Gumdrops and tears on the ground
So sad it goes so fast
But candy hearts weren't made to last
I guess it's just gingerbread
A gingerbread house
I guess I didn't know what you meant to me
'Til I was all alone putting up the tree
But the lights don't seem to glow
The way they did before
When you were next to me
'Cause feelings fade and I can't say
"I love you" like the way I did before
And the home we made somehow became
Just bits and broken pieces on the floor
'Cause we built this gingerbread house
Four walls of sugar and flour
Built up to watch it fall down
Gumdrops and tears on the ground
So sad it goes so fast
But candy hearts weren't made to last
I guess it's just gingerbread
Ten months I thought we were fine
Lost in the time of our lives
So high the Fourth of July
The seasons changed, and so did your mind
So sad it goes so fast
But candy hearts weren't made to last
I guess it's just gingerbread
A gingerbread house
'Cause we built this gingerbread house
Four walls of sugar and flour
Built up to watch it fall down
Gumdrops and tears on the ground
So sad it goes so fast
But candy hearts weren't made to last
I guess it's just gingerbread
