There’s no snow on the ground
But still it comes like winter
A cold and distant reminder
Of something I couldn’t get right
And there’s no bells in the air
But it still comes every year
A day that lives in my memories
Something good, now colored in grey
Sometimes I wish it’d never happened
That I could take back those two words
But life doesn’t move in a straight line
And sometimes we leave love behind
There’s no wishing on the past
No amount of stars could light
The directions that we followed
On our way to separate lives
And there’s no point in ever calling
We have no lines connecting
No reason to even discuss the weather
But I still hope you’re doin’ better
Sometimes I wish it’d never happened
That I could take back those two words
But life doesn’t move in a straight line
And sometimes we leave love
I never thought I’d find peace
Or ever learn to love again
Strange to sit here looking at the past
And know that’s all it’s been
Sometimes I wish it’d never happened
That I could take back those two words
But life doesn’t move in a straight line
And sometimes we leave
