take me for a fool and I ll do the same for you
to catch what's coming down I ll repeat myself out loud
finally I recall all the photographs on the wall
all my friends agree that the latter half is not me

a long time ago I might have been
tying my hope around you again
but holding me now won't do any good
'cause I died before I could

remembering what I ve seen takes an awful lot out of me
some day you might hear an apology that's sincere

a long time ago I might have been
tying my hope around you again
but holding me now won't do any good
'cause I died before I could

the pain that's all around could make me it's home so I call it my own
as sorry as I seem you never could dream what sorry could be

a long time ago I might have been
tying my hope around you again
but holding me now won't do any good
'cause I died before I could
feel anything that matters today
sing songs that won't go away
all I can do all that's left to be
is feel it openly
