lyrics

The days pass on and we are breaking
In this life we're always awaking

I am not the one who stood in the doorway open
Never wanted to be the door that was always closing

And oh, it wasn't supposed to be
Anything less than a memory
You took all the bad parts away
And saved them for another day

I'm not a shadow on your wall
I don't dance in darkness ten feet tall

I never wanted to be the one that was always broken
Never wanted to be the door that was always closing

And oh, it wasn't supposed to be
Anything less than a memory
You took all the bad parts away
And saved them for another day

INTERLUDE

Oh, it wasn't supposed to be
Anything less than a memory
You took all the bad parts away
And saved them for another day
You took all the bad parts away
And saved them for another day
