Everytime I look at you all I see is him

The spot on my hand starts to burn and I can't run away

I can't stop the memories from rushing into my head

I wish I din't have all these scars to remind me of you

All those nights we spent alone

All those times I told you it would be ok

I gave you all I could give

All I got back was my favorite scar

When I close my eyes I still see you

Laying on my chest saying nothing will ever change

I can never forget and forgive

These scars will never quit

When you sleep I hope you think

About me trying to forget

And how you will never leave my thoughts

I hope your scars fade

So he won't see them starring back at him

Sleep well knowing these scars will never leave me

Do you remember all those times

When I just stared into your eyes

Wonderin about our future and loving the past

And wishing that time didn't move so fast

I hope you remember the times we shared

(through) The smiles the laughs and the tears!

So here's looking back at you kid

And looking forward to a new sunrise

Do you remember all those tears we shed

All those nights we couldn't share my bed

I never will regret you or the time we shared

I just wish I knew that you still cared

I came back expecting more

All I got was a closed door

But no matter what I do I can't get mad

Here's lookin at what we had

When the sunset comes and your not their to kiss me

All I can do is look out my window as the lights shine bright

On this warm spot on my bed where you laid your head

And said that you would die for me as you watched me let go of her lies

Lets let go and run a away

Theres nothing left for us

The only thing here is the fear

Of loosing the look of when you say to me

I've missed you

The days are getting colder and the distance is digging deep in me

I wish my coat was warmer and through the dirt I could see

Your face when you see me painting the town your favorite colors

Blue yellow and pink cars surrounding your house, and the rain starts to pour

As the wind whistles past the small cracks in my car door

I admire the familiar skyscrapers of the golden plains

It has been so long since their shadow has crossed mine

A lonely tractor looms in the distance on the highway that stretches in front of me

Its trailer full, releasing countless strands of Kansas gold all over the gray cracked road

As I pass the familiar sun beaten man, he waves as though he has all ways known me

The bell that rings as I walk thru the donut shop door lets the regulars know that I am there

As the old men slowly lower their fourth cup of coffee to its resting place to examine me

Their looks are slow to warm to my city style jeans and hair that seem so foreign

Drops of gas soak into the dirt surrounding the filling station as I put back the rusty gas hose

I try and hand off my credit card to pay for the gas, but am meet with a look of confusion

As I leave the station the wind blows once more the sweet smell of corn and dust through my hair as I get back in my car

These nights are so long

Hoping to take your pain away

Along with your breath

Don't let this be the end

The memories never fade

Of how you look in the moonlight

And how I didn't want this kiss to end

But nothing gold can stay

I would rather go through hell

Than you hurt anymore

The dawn will be here soon

And we will wake up to each other

Show me where you hide

Show me your scars

Let them go to me

One day you will look back

I hope you smile

At all that we did

At all the times we hid away from the rest of the world

I hope you let your hurt go

And let me into you

Every scar has it's story

Let me burn the books

That hold you back

From breathing

These hands are ready

To build the bridge

Between life and light

Take my hand don't let go

This gap is bigger than we thought
