Have you ever felt the songs you love
Dedicated to the one you love
Belong to someone else
But not to you?
Have you ever felt the place you go
Escaping life with the one you know
Isn't quite as special
When the one that's truly special
Isn't you?
Well, I do.
Well, I do.

Well, I know it isn't right, you know.
The fire's dying out, it's so
Cold in here
But I'm already blue.
Do you feel the blankets tight on you
And the light is harsh and bright to you
It's freezing you inside
Despite the warmth outside
Do you?
Well, I do.
Well, I do.

When the fireworks are lost in thought
The hope she's happy, all you got
You can't believe you left
So easily.
Do you realize this song is on
Telling you the times you're wrong
And the past is all you have
The past is all you have
Do you?
Well, I do.
Well, I do.

The photographs you have of her
Still in the place you thought they were
Glinting still
In the faint street light.
Does this broken night take you home
When you were not to be alone
And the moon is full and bright tonight
But you drive past it's guiding light
Do you?
Well, I do.
Well, I do.

Though you can't always fight the nights
Where you can't raise your guard up to fight
You have to fend them off
To survive.
Well, does your heart still lead you there
To the place she told you that she cared
And the fight to hold yourself in check
When you felt that you had nothing left
Well, do you?
Well, I do.
Well, I do.
