lyrics

Days go by, dazed and confused
I thought that I had nothing left to lose
Never walked a mile in your shoes
And my heart fell on the floor when I heard the news

It's like wearing a band-aid
To fix broken bones
When the room is crowded
But you still feel alone
And you're trying to speak it
But they don't understand
And I'm trying to fix it
I dunno if I can
But I feel you with me
And I know you can see me
I feel you with me
You live on in our memories

Frosty wind kisses rosy cheeks
I feel you in the winter breeze
Stealing away the weeks like little time thieves
In the darkest place you gave me the brightest memories

It's like wearing a band-aid
To fix broken bones
When the room is crowded
But you still feel alone
And you're trying to speak it
But they don't understand
And I'm trying to fix it
I dunno if I can
But I feel you with me
And I know you can see me
I feel you with me
You live on in our memories

Face pressed against a window pane
To try to see the brighter side
Yearned for a place without any pain
But could never get inside
We burnt our bridges as we built them
Creating castles just to knock them down
We'll sleep when the sun comes up
But the moon is out now
And the moon is always out
When you're not around…

It's like wearing a band-aid
To fix broken bones
When the room is crowded
But you still feel alone
And you're trying to speak it
But they don't understand
And I'm trying to fix it
I dunno if I can
But I feel you with me
And I know you can see me
I feel you with me
You live on in our memories

Days go by, dazed and confused…
