I hate when the days are short
Because the night seems to last so long
That’s when I am buried in the darkness
And I can’t express my sadness in a song
Sometimes I wonder how she’s doing
Even after all this time
Sure, it’s an awkward memory
One that makes the words so hard to find
It’s been exactly fifteen years today
Since I decided to leave my wife
Bulldoze my way out of her existence
Never made a bigger mess in all my life
We’re both well past that fury
Though we haven’t spoken to each other in years
She’s got a husband and a teenage boy
And I have long since dried up all of those tears
Still it seems so hard to fathom
We knew every inch of each other’s lives
Now we’re separated by more than the miles
Time erases the feelings that well up inside
Every day we make little decisions
Not thinking that they add up to much
All of a sudden we’re faced with the future
And all of the bitter consequences and such
No one sets out to be the bad guy
And crush the affections of those we love the most
Time is a cruel betrayer
Eradicating emotions that we held so close
Outside the winter winds are howling
And the evening is quickly drawing to a close
I wrap myself in warmer memories
Thinking of all the good times I have known
I hate when the days are short
Because the night seems to last so long
That’s when I am buried in the darkness
And I can’t express my sadness in a song.
