Lyrics
You have to frame every moment
In thundering breaths
You never know how much
You've got left
There was time to do everything
A short time ago
I've never been to Paris
But I always meant to go
I've had all I can take
Waiting for the day
This turns around
And I get back up off the ground
Who knows where I'll be
All the years that I'll never see
Where'd they go?
Will I have something left to show?
How was I to know?
How was I to know?
You promised me forever
When I took your ring
Nothin' you can tell me now
Means a goddamn thing
So here I'll make my stand
This is as far as I will go
Then I'll make myself invisible
To everyone we know
I've had all I can take
Done waiting for the day
You turn around
Pick my heart up off the ground
Who knows where I could be
All the years taken from me
Where'd they go
And nothin' to show
How was I to know?
How was I to know?
