Lyrics
There once was a time when all that you knew
were smiles and sunshine and promises true,
& you were made to suffer the light of day & wait for that selfish sun to fade away
So you can dream, dream of her again,
You just broke the only thing you’ve ever really loved
Pick up the broom and sweep her up before, before the guilt kicks in
Start up the fire and throw them all inside,
all of the memories & promises that you now, that you now deny
Day by day it all tumbles by
This droughted love has doubtless dried
Waiting for the rains to come
& Wash it all away
‘Til one sunny day love take root again
Finally you feel a tingle of remorse, & somewhere deep inside
You wish somehow you could force her to forget, but wishing only makes it worse
‘Cause you rant & you rave & you swear you can save
Everything that you lost when found who you were in her eyes, save your cries
Cuz day by day it all goes by your heart gets a’wrenched and a’tumble a’dried
But you let it go, and now that u know u got nothin to show fo’yourself no no,
but sorrow,& tomorrow Mo’ rain & disdain, cuz y’gave it away,
all of the pain that kept you sane, that made you simple and maintained you plain,
what a shame, what a shame, what a shame…ain’t got no one 2 blame but yo’self
