My Holiday Burns

My eyes burn from these tearsYou'd think I'd learn over these yearsGood things won't last foreverSo what the hell am I suppose to doYou only wanted the things I couldn't give to youWhat became of everyone i used to know?Where did our respectable convictions go?Your words don't match the story that your actions show, but what do I know?I'm sure you can't help but rememberingI thought that you'd be one not to forget,But remembering's not helping you yetSay goodnight means goodbye.I know you think my life would stop with you awayMaybe I can see you on the holidays,But you're worlds awayI've never forgotten all our yesterdays but I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidaysI can't expect you to spend forever with meI live for that single momentThe evidence presents itself accusingly,Your absence speaking everything you think of meNow that I am faced with opportunityYou're not rememberingI'm not asking you anywayEven if you ever could cave inI wouldn't know where to beginSay goodnight(I take back everything)Means goodbye(And leave me scrambling)I know you think my life would stop with you away(Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place)Maybe I can see you on the holidays, (I take back everything)(And leave me scrambling)But you're worlds away (Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place)Maybe I can see you on the holidays, (I take back everything)(And leave me scrambling)But you're worlds away (Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place)I've never forgotten all our yesterdays but I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays(Holidays)Say goodnight(I take back everything)Means goodbye(And leave me scrambling)I know you think my life would stop with you away(Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place)Maybe if we're speaking on the holidays, (I take back everything and leave me scrambling)(Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place)
