Before I could say goodnight
So I stand up
Dress and leave without a goodbye
And you toss and turn
From nightmares that are playing out
Right here, right now
And I am not proud of running away
No, I am not proud of running away
Chorus:
But the fireworks have faded
The beauty has abated
And I have found that I have waited
For feelings that will never change
You fell asleep
Before the words had ceased
And I don't care
So I hope you rest in peace
And you fly and fall
With hardly a whisper of a shout
So soft, so loud
And I am not proud of blunting the knife
No, I am not proud of blunting the knife
Chorus:
But the fireworks have faded
The beauty has abated
And I have found that I have waited
For feelings that will never change
The fireworks have faded...
The beauty has abated...
I have found that I have waited
With hopes that played out all in vain
I have found that I have waited
For feelings that can never change
To change, and change, and change
Feelings that can never change
Feelings that will never change
