And I just wanna tell you,
You forgave and I won't forget.
Some day, you will go away from this.
So glide away on soapy heels,
And promise not to promise anymore.
You've gotta be kind to yourself.
Now my only chance to talk to you
Is through my prayers;
I only wanted to tell you I care.
But I am blind,
I cannot find the heart I gave to you.

And I just wanna tell you,
You forgave and I won't forget.
Some day, you will go away from this.
So glide away on soapy heels,
And promise not to promise anymore.
You've gotta be kind to yourself.
Now my only chance to talk to you
Is through my prayers;
I only wanted to tell you I care.
But I am blind,
I cannot find the heart I gave to you.
This piece is composed entirely of song lyrics. I pulled lyrics from "I Almost Do" by Taylor Swift, "I Will Wait" by Mumford and Sons, "Men of Snow", "The Chain", and "Glass" by Ingrid Michaelson, "Me and You" by She and Him, and "Through My Prayers" by the Avett Brothers. The title is from Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars", though I'm not quite sold on it.
