When we let things slide
I'd always hoped that we would have the chance
At least to say we tried
So I went sifting though my old mistakes
On the day you left
And I decided to forgive myself
The heart can only take so much regret
You're all I'm aching for
And yet
I don't want this pain no more
And yet
My heart won't lock that door
I wasn't ready for the avalanche
I wasn't ready for the words you chose
When you said goodbye
Or just how suddenly the roads could close
Between your life and mine
So I went looking for the reasons why
And I got so lost
And I decided I would have to try
To live without your love at any cost
You're all I'm aching for
And yet
I don't want this pain no more
I can't get
My heart to lock that door
And I wasn't ready for the avalanche
I wasn't ready for the avalanche When we let things slide I'd always hoped that we would have the chance At least to say we tried So I went sifting though my old mistakes On the day you left And I decided to forgive myself The heart can only take so much regret You're all I'm aching for And yet I don't want this pain no more And yet My heart won't lock that door I wasn't ready for the avalanche I wasn't ready for the words you chose When you said goodbye Or just how suddenly the roads could close Between your life and mine So I went looking for the reasons why And I got so lost And I decided I would have to try To live without your love at any cost You're all I'm aching for And yet I don't want this pain no more I can't get My heart to lock that door And I wasn't ready for the avalanche Explain Request ×
