No I will not forget the day
When you finally stopped
When you finally stopped running
You'd been hiding from this place
And all the vanishing years,
Oh the vanishing years oh how they fall
You'd been watching the race
With your heart set in flames
And how you called
And I answered
Do you remember how we stood
For the longest time, under the greyest sky
Said all the things we knew we should
And the clocks stopped ticking
And the world stopping turning
I was reeling
I was reaching around just to find up and down
Was I even breathing
When you touched my face and said
Sorry for making me wait
And if I had known better I'd have told you
Better never than late
What were you trying to prove?
You gave me so much to lose
So when I break
It's along familiar cracks that had finally been
Put back together
How I wanted it
How I wanted it to last forever
Did you know that was goodbye
When you opened your heart
Told me "this is the start"
Did you know you wouldn't try
That you would give me a day
Before you took it away
Because you threw my world off track
And all the scenery changed
Like it was snowing in April
But it melted just as fast
You might as well have been rain
I should have told you
Better never than late
We were better apart
With the pieces of my heart kept away
Do you know what you did
You were snow in April
Do you know what you did to me
It was snowing in April
Do you know what you did to me?
