Lose You

a tear in an old man's eye

a glass raised for the new

comes a time when all the years you've spent

are better to forget

place me above your light

if that's something you can do

every night I almost start to pray that

you don't go away

I don't want to lose you

don't want to have to choose to

settle into a single life

something that I won't do

it's gonna take me a year

to break these chains

and swallow our remains

at least I'll get old in time

and lose everything I knew

I could start to let my mind replay

those scenes of yesterday

time slips away and reminds us everyday

now you're feeling older

you live with all the ghosts

that keep you up the most

how can you sleep tonight?

can't let the heart tell lies

the love will never stay

and please believe me when I say

love walks out on broken legs
