The Rules

Standing at the gate with the wrong passcode

I guess this is the end

Promises we made when we were close

I was blessed to be your friend

The more I dream, the less you show

The more I breathe, the less I know

I try to get the feeling back

But all the colors have turned black

I know the rules

Once they're gone, those days don't return again

But I can't help wishing they'd come back

I know the rules

Once you're gone, I won't see you again

But I can't help wishing you'd come back

I can't help wishing you'd come back

Brick turns to rubble, then the rubble is dust

Time will always win

We were the exception, or so we thought

And we would never end

The more I breathe, the less I know

The more I dream, the less you show

I know the rules

Once they're gone, those days don't return again

But I can't help wishing they'd come back

I know the rules

Once you're gone, I won't see you again

But I can't help wishing you'd come back

I can't help wishing you'd come back

You were always good to me

Easy now to look back and see

That's just the way it goes

That's just the way

I try to get the feeling back

But all the colors have turned black

I know the rules

Once they're gone, those days don't return again

But I can't help wishing they'd come back

I know the rules

Once you're gone, I won't see you again

But I can't help wishing you'd come back

I can't help

I know the rules

Once you're gone, I won't see you again

But I can't help wishing you'd come back

I can't help wishing you'd come back
