Too Tired to Run - Cain's Offering

There was a time when I could make your bright eyes gleam

Now smiles upon your face are few and far between

We were so young, naive and blind in all our pride

To see the warning, the turning of the tide

And I guess it’s best we laid to rest

All that we had and all we hope for

It’s time to close the door

Stand here by my side and watch the river flow

Through fields once green, where our garden used to grow

Life goes by so fast and time waits for no one

Too long we stared into the sun

Now days are growing dark and we’re too tired to run

Now that we’ve lost the flame, the beauty of it all

Our symmetry of souls reduced to metaphor

We live, we learn some things are impossible to do

And still I need you more than I want to

But I guess it’s best we laid to rest

All that we had and all that we hoped for

It’s time to close the door

I could’ve been worse, but I should’ve been better

Should’ve been there 'cause I said «forever»

Now I’m here wondering what

Should’ve, could’ve, would’ve been and

I could’ve said more 'cause the words they matter

Should’ve been strong so you wouldn’t have shattered

But I’m here wondering what

Should’ve, could’ve, would’ve been

And I hope he gives more than I did

All that you need and all that you hope for
