Forget what I said, forget what you’re told
Tonight is the night, we’re going to grow old
Don’t look at the wound, time will never heal it
See me in the next life, I swear to still feel it
So don’t count the nights I cried, the Lord knows I tried
And don’t count the days, the sun never stays
Hop borders, walk corridors
Find a piece of my heart
If you ask me what I liked, I’ll tell you just fine
See that empty street out there, it used to be mine
It’s where we laughed and it’s where we played
It’s where our promises were kept and our memories were betrayed
So don’t count the nights I cried, the Lord knows I tried
And don’t count the days, the sun never stays
Hop borders, walk corridors
Find a piece of my heart
I hope you find a place like that
And I hope I find the space where we sat
But I hope you find a voice just as kind
And I hope I find a way to rewind
But I hope you find the piece that got away
And I hope I find a way to make us stay
But I hope you all find the laughs we had
And I hope I find they never went bad
No, they never went bad
So don’t count the nights I cried, the Lord knows I tried
And don’t count the days, the sun never stays
Hop borders, walk corridors
Find a piece of my heart
Are we holding on or letting go
The back of my mind may never know
Are we holding on or letting go
The back of my mind may never know
Are holding on or letting go
The back of my mind may never know
So we sing it real slow
Don’t count the nights I cried, the Lord knows I tried
And don’t count the days, the sun never stays
Hop borders, walk corridors
Find a piece of my heart
Just find a piece of my heart
Will you believe me when I say
No I don’t want to
I swear I don’t want to
No I don’t want to
Will you believe me when I say
I don’t want to
hop borders, walk corridors
just to find a piece of my heart
No, I don’t want to do it anymore
But I don’t know what else to do.
“I’m in a glass case of emotion.” This is wonderful, Paul.
