Lyrics

I'm standing on a rooftop
A million miles from home
The wind beats across my face
As I climb up here alone

I still see your face sometimes
It lightens all my thoughts
Because time couldn't heal
What faded from lost and tattered hearts

When two wrongs don't make a right
It's a turn of phrase
A lovers plight

Now I sail over the sea sometimes
Look down into the blue
And all my thoughts and all my fears
Return to the memory of you

I'm sorry that I ran away
But I happy that I'm gone
Because once the words come and go
You can never come back home

Because two rights always make it wrong
Will it last for long?

Nothing comes from nothing
Sorrow comes from loss
Now I'm standing in the graveyard
Of all things this life has cost

They say time heals all wounds
But nothing cuts so deep
As a shallow soul and hollow eyes
And no kind words yet left to speak

I'm standing at the crossroads
The path goes high and low
I'm still the one getting away
And you're still the one who let go.
