Another echo of a moment

Another shadow on my mind

Another minute

That's been lost to yesterday

Another bittersweet reminder

Of how perfect love can be

And how easily it all can slip away

You used to say I was special

Used to tell me you were mine

Said that there was not a test

We couldn't pass

And I never quite believed it

Couldn't see what you saw in me

But I never thought

I'd be replaced so fast

You and me were meant to be forever

Forever didn't end up lasting long

And I hope you'll enjoy life

Enough for both of us

Cos without you I don't know

How to carry on

So you go chasing rainbows

And seizing every day

I'll pretend that I don't feel alone

And I will always keep

A light on just for you

In case you ever

Feel like coming home

You were everything I wanted

Everything I'd ever need

A bright spark

In the darkness of the night

But as if I'd looked too closely

Every time I close my eyes

I get a slowly fading

Memory of your light

When I asked if I was losing you

You promised I was your one

But one turned into nothing anyway

So you made your own decision

And god knows I hope you're wrong

Cos if you're right

I don't know how I'll be ok

You and me were meant to be forever

Forever didn't end up lasting long

And I hope you'll enjoy

Life enough for both of us

Cos without you I don't know

How to carry on

So you go chasing rainbows

And seizing every day

I'll pretend

That I don't feel alone

And I will always keep

A light on just for you

In case you ever

Feel like coming home

You and me were meant to be forever

Forever didn't end up lasting long

And I hope you'll enjoy life

Enough for both of us

Cos without you I don't know

How to carry on

So you go chasing rainbows

And seizing every day

I'll pretend

That I don't feel alone

And I will always keep

A light on just for you

In case you ever

Feel like coming home
