She Wept As I Told Her

If there’s something I loathe and something that I love
It's thinking of

In the back of my mind
Sending shivers down my spine
It was never the drugs or the alcohol
Or careless sex in the night

It was only you
It was only you

Stuck in the way
It’s lights out under the weight
Bound to bittersweet memories, better days and remedies
These hurdles are too high
I slip as I try

It was never the drugs or the alcohol
Or careless sex in the night

I could never forget
Clear skies, long days and good friends
Stuck in fading memories
I could never forget
But I guess that you have

Under gray skies lost in the evergreen
Of when we were seventeen
For now we're just lost in dreams
Those issues gone along with the spirit
It's still there for those who will it
But I'm still lost in these dreams

We all carry boulders
She wept as I told her
I carry mine all of the time
You showed me yours and as I'm down on all fours
They still hang on
They still hang on

I could never forget
Clear skies, long days and good friends
Stuck in fading memories
I could never forget
But I guess that you have
