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
