Lyrics
I gave up on Sadie yesterday
I just could not take more of her driving me away
For all I know my leaving made her glad
No I could not tell her if I'd ever want her back
But still it hurts to think of everything we had.
Sadie let ambition rule her day
Filled her world with dreams that just could not be contained
Though I tried to keep the end at bay
She dropped the sun to grab the moon
Both just slipped away
Her fury burned down to the ash all that remained
Sure I'm less than proud now looking back on all that's done
See sometimes you can save yourself
But you can't take everyone
Maybe time will fill what I now lack
Careful giving out 'cause some things can't be taken back
I'd still give everything to see her smile
But I tried that before and I just wasted quite a while
And now the memory's all I carry through the miles
