Lyrics

So soon, just after you're gone
My senses sharpen
But it always takes, so damn long
Before I feel how much my eyes have darkened
Fear Hangs a plane of gunsmoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb, with a thought, with a whisper
With a careless memory, with a careless memory
On the table, signs of love lies scattered
And the walls break, with a crashing within
It's not as though, as though you really mattered
Being close, how could I let you go?
Without some feeling, some precious sympathy following
Fear hangs a plane of gunsmoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb, with a thought, with a whisper
With a careless memory, with a careless memory
With a careless memory, with a careless memory
Oh I walk out into the sun, I try to find a new day
But the whole place, it just screams in my eyes
Where are you now? Cause I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die, I think I'd laugh at you
I know I'd cry, What am I suppose to do? Follow you?
Oustside the thoughts come flooding back now
I just try to forget you
So easy to disturb, with a thought, with a whisper
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
Look Out
Look Out
Look Out
Look Out
