Lyrics
I was taught that if you loved, that would always be enough.
But i learned too well and the lesson failed to tell, what happened if you loved too much..I loved too much.
You used to wear flowers in your hair, but now there is only a hand residing there.
One day i'll want to grow old again, waste away 'till i'm pale and thin
One day i'll want to grow old again, cracks in my bones and I'm wrinkled skin
This house was built for two, with nothing holding it up she replaced it with you.
But i'm why you can be happy, i'm why you can be sad
I'm the only reason you can love a girl like that
But he will give you what you want
a pair of kind eyes and absolutely no heart
Take a step back and look what you've done
and assure yourself you're happy with what you've become
I'm sure it's nothing, i'm sure you're nothing
One day i'll want to grow old again, cracks in my bones and I'm wrinkled skin. One day i'll want to grow old again, waste away 'till i'm pale and thin
A mirror can show you you're as beautiful as i made you feel
but a reflection is a perception and my words were real
So i guess you found comfort in his voice
tell me if something sounds familiar, bitch you've made you're choice.
i hope you understand 12 years are gone
and you've picked someone who's as loyal as to do what you've done
One day i'll want to grow old again, cracks in my bones and I'm wrinkled skin. One day i'll want to grow old again, waste away 'till i'm pale and thin
