Half past 5 and I'm wondering why
You're not here by my side, hands intertwined
Reminisce about the past, walking gravel roads
Strolling side by side, falling in love
Did I move too fast or run too slow
Standards too high or bar too low
Reality's hit and this I know
There's no way you'll be coming home
But, can we play pretend just for tonight
Would you gently fall, into the arms of mine
For this moment won't you close your eyes
When the morning comes, I know I have to leave it all behind
It's funny how my heart got so attached to you
Your hair, your laugh and your white canvas shoes
My friends told me not to put you on a pedestal
Can't help it, you were perfect to me, so perfect to me
Now, self resentment fills my mind
Blame myself for the change of space and time
Sad words give me comfort as I fade away
From any memory inside your head
But, can we play pretend just for tonight
Would you gently fall, into the arms of mine
For this moment won't you close your eyes
When the morning comes, I know I have to leave it all behind
Rain's falling, windows are wet
Can you feel the pain through the tears that are shed
Because you're gone
Nowhere to be seen
Except for distant memories
Residing in my brain
It's hard to move on
Broken hearts take time to fix
Mine will never be the same again
Because you're gone, gone, gone
Because you're gone, gone, gone
Because you're gone, you're gone, you're gone
You're gone
But, I will play pretend just for tonight
You would gently fall, into the arms of mine
And for this moment I will close my eyes
When the morning comes, I know I will leave it all behind
