Lyrics
I've spent so much time
Throwing rocks at your window
But I never even knocked
On your front door
I walk by statues
Never even made one chip
But if I could leave a mark
On the monument of your heart
I just might lay myself down
For a little more hope than I had
The last day
The last day
The last day
Wait a time
To spare these lies we tell ourselves
These days have come and gone
But this time it's sweeter than honey
