Lyrics
I don’t know why I never asked, I guess it wasn’t right / Now I ask myself that question as I lay awake at night / The answer comes resounding through the windows and the door / My heart is not a rookie; it’s played this game before / You walked away in silence without so much as goodbye / When I asked you what was going on, all I heard were lies / I watched you learn a dance that I had never seen you do / And when the music finally finished, we were finished, too / (Chorus) And I listened to the echo of your footsteps in the hall / Saw the empty space your pictures left upon my wall / I sometimes hear you walking, now that we’re apart / Down the corridors of an old and empty heart / I don’t know why I never asked, I guess it wasn’t right / I only hope you’ll understand when you think about those nights / That bridges burned are never crossed once they’re left behind / To return to where you came from can be a foolish waste of time /
