Your bitter goodbye is ringing through this quiet night,

This idle hour just wont pass

I've never missed you this much, never thought I would,

Didn't think you'd feel so far away

Your summer perfume is still, blowing through this hallway,

Autumn's amber red shadows dance

I miss our midnight rides on highway 18, 18 is gone

So go past the lights and all the excuses

You could have left "sincerely yours"

Don't you think it's obvious that I want to say more?

Cause anything too daring to say to you,

Will be said in this letter, then burned away

So you never realize, I'm here

I'm thinking of your vague reply

So I can understand

Why we put this at rest

Why we forget to

Say that we were leaving

Say that we were sorry

The past remains unspoken

As this vacant night is dieing

But I still miss your summer perfume

This cold air brings such a distance to us

Such a painful distance

I'm still waiting for you to say you hate me now

So I don't have to hold on to this burning heart

This burning heart is getting old, getting old

While sitting on this cold kitchen floor,

Head down to hide the tears,ive realized

I've finally realized that you were never meant for me
