Out Through The Curtain

Like the light was all I hadI struck the book with my last matchThe candle burned so soft and slowI felt the warmth and felt its glowSalt tasting tearsThey roll off of my lipsOne for each day I'm inside this house, it's a trapOne I can't quite escape so pretend it's the place that I loveWon't let it pass me by againWon't let it pass me by againThe grass was clippedThe summer sunWas beating down on my front yardAll the boys and girls would laughI'd watch them through the curtain's crackPlace all your bets and watch me loseThe life that I got but never usedDream every night that one will come trueBut only bad ones ever doWon't let it pass me by againWon't let it pass me by againMy heart beats way too fastTo let regret sit in my lapWon't let it pass me by againWon't let it pass me by again(Won't let this pass me by again)Won't let it pass me by again(Won't let this pass me by again)Won't let it pass me by again
