Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I left I thought I would be stronger
But in fact it took away my energy
Hard to tell you that I could not really see
Beyond the gates of this purgatory
I am so tainted now, I cannot wash you off
The memories still don't seem to fade
When I left did you even wash your tears?
'Cause mine have been drying for days
[Verse 2]
Something in the way
Why am I crying for you, babe?
Can't stop the rain
Time to move on anyway
Don't ask me why
It's done
So long, goodbye
I'm gone
[Verse 3]
'Cause only sun in the summer lasts
No holding on and no looking back
Even the sun doesn't seem to last
It don't hold on, it's not coming back
[Verse 4]
If I kept ahold a little longer
I would never think I'd ever get away
Don't want the same
I tried to keep you
Say love is blind
I couldn't see you chain, no
Don't wanna find myself back in that place
I have wasted all my tears on fools
There was no help for me
No saving grace
I have been trying for days
[Verse 5]
There was something in the way
Why am I crying for you, babe?
No I can't stop the rain
Time to move on anyway
Don't ask me why
It's done
So long, goodbye
I'm gone
[Verse 6]
'Cause only sun in the summer lasts
No holding on and no looking back
Even the sun doesn't seem to last
It don't hold on, it's not coming back
[Verse 7]
Well, there was something in the way
Why am I crying for you, babe?
I can't stop the rain
Time to move on anyway
[Verse 8]
Oh, 'cause only sun in the summer lasts
No holding on and no looking back
Even the sun doesn't seem to last
It don't hold on, it's not coming back
[Verse 9]
Even the sun in the summer doesn't seem to last
No holding on and no looking back
Even the sun doesn't seem to last
It don't hold on, it's not coming back
