Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And I was alone
On the fifth day since you've gone
This broken glass, this early morn'
I rub my eyes in the haze
I'm not sleeping anyway
I watch the sun rise up
In the city where I was born
[Verse 2]
I could call you now
Wouldn't matter what I'd say
Words just aren't enough
I hear our song, I press repeat
I smell your perfume on the sheets
You always said, boy, you're not so tough
[Verse 3]
And only now can I say
No matter how I shake and shape
It's these things that make you a man
Your frozen mind begins to thaw
You think, my God, my God, my God
Where was it I began?
[Verse 4]
I wish you were, is what I'd say
If you asked me in the light of day
But these nights are like a dream I can't shake
And there's your hair, and there's your head
And there's your empty place on the bed
I wish I could scream myself awake
[Verse 5]
But I won't go back to what I was
And I know now that you are lost
It's your choices that make you a man
And frozen mind begins to thaw
You think, my God, my God, my God
Where was it I began?
[Verse 6]
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
