Gingerbread House - Anson Seabra

I fell for you like snow on the trees

On the night we walked alone at seventeen

And my cheeks were colored rose

But it wasn’t from the cold

It was the way you looked at me

But feelings fade and your eyes don’t say

«I love you» like the way they did before

And the home we made somehow became

Just bits and broken pieces on the floor

Cause we built this gingerbread house

Four walls of sugar and flour

Built up to watch it fall down

Gumdrops and tars on the ground

So sad it goes so fast

But candy hearts wren’t made to last

I guess it’s just gingerbread, a gingerbread house

I guess I didn’t know what you meant to me

Till I was all alone puttin' up the tree

But the lights don’t seem to glow

The way they did before

When you were next to me

Cause feelings fade and I can’t say

«I love you» like the way I did before

And the home we made somehow became

Just bits and broken pieces on the floor

Cause we built this gingerbread house

Four walls of sugar and flour

Built up to watch it fall down

Gumdrops and tears on the ground

So sad it goes so fast

But candy hearts weren’t made to last

I guess it’s just gingerbread, a gingerbread house

Ten months I thought we were fine, lost in the time of our lives

So high the fourth of July, the seasons change

So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren’t made to last

I guess it’s just gingerbread, a gingerbread house

Cause we built this gingerbread house

Four walls of sugar and flour

Built up to watch it fall down

Gumdrops and tears on the ground

So sad it goes so fast

But candy hearts weren’t made to last

I guess it’s just gingerbread, a gingerbread house
