Let the big city sweep you away,
I'll keep singing
Bout a life I can?t escape
the one you?re leaving

And if the bright lights keep you awake
know I?m dreaming
Of the nights we spent
watching dark turn into day

I never thought this bitter heart
would melt so easy
But you caught me by surprise
And got me thinking

That maybe everything in life
has got a reason
Cause I watched you turn
My darkness into day

And I've been here before
but it's different
And I lost myself in search of this
Now I'm losing you, and I
don?t know what to say
And you don?t know what to think,
so we let it fade.

I guess this time that we shared
was but a season
The only pattern to my life
seems to be changes
And I know I don?t have the right to be disappointed
Cause I watched you turn
my darkness into day

And I've been here before
but it's different
And I lost myself in search of this
now I'm losing you and I
don?t know what to say
And you don?t know what to think

I wish I had met you years ago
I could have used more time with such a gentle soul
But if I had met you years ago would you still be someone I know
I wish you had met me years ago because I was better then

And I've been here before
but its different
And I lost myself in search of this
now I'm losing you and I
don?t know what to say
And you don?t know what to think,
So we let it fade.
