A Scar For Every Sunset

I’ve been foolish, all of my days And it seems I’ve played a fool Chasing dreams I haven’t made Fills my heart with the blues For one night in heaven I’d sell my soul into hell To quench these flames of desire You’ve put me underneath your spell There’s a scar for every sunset That I don’t spend with you Each passing day’s another dream That keeps waiting to come true There’s a scar on my heart Even one on my soul You’d think by now maybe I would learn Sometimes it’s best to let go In the morning you’re with me Right where you’ve been for years I still carry this want too It’s the other way I fear I just can’t seem to come to grips With the fact that we don’t share Every single sunset Just reminds me you’re not here There’s a scar for every sunset That I don’t share with you Each passing day’s another dream That keeps waiting to come true There’s a scar on my heart Even one on my soul You’d think by now maybe I would learn Sometimes it’s best to let go There’s a scar on my heart For every sunset we don’t share While we may not be together I still long to someday share Every single sunset
