lyrics

We were under a leaden sky
Do you remember? Do you remember?
We were under a leaden sky
Do you remember? Do you remember?
The stillness of snow that hung from the trees
Where we soaked our shoes and we dirtied our knees
And I twirled my fingers around in your hair
And we spoke our sweet foolishness there
Exposed beneath the cold winter sky
Do you remember? Do you remember?
We could not let opportunities fly
Do you remember?
Ah

We fought a long summer and love spoke through pain
We clung to each other, in hopes of better days
I tried my best but I wasn't a catch
I got too fearful of my heart being left
You put your eyes to the horizon and what could I do?
You faded while I held on to you
We suffered under the hot, muggy sky
Do you remember? Do you remember?
I refused to let my devotion die
Do you remember?
Ah

So the distance it grew until you went away
I felt you withdraw in a sad, slow decay
I reached my hand to you, you turned your head
I wrote you a letter--you ignored what I said
I went to see you to talk it all out
Do you remember? Do you remember?
But you were different--you shut my love out
It's a pain I remember

Your absence, well, it collapsed my life
Doesn't that matter? Doesn't that matter?
I was fighting to keep us alive
Doesn't that matter? Did I ever matter?
I felt so rejected, like a disease
I loved you but you'd had enough of me
So I took the bullet while you laid in the sun
Do you remember? I hope it was fun
I get that you did what you had to do
I just want you to know what I've suffered through
Ah
