When the sun sleeps and the night is quiet
I wonder why things turned out like this
And though I know I shouldn't care
These memories keep holding me back

I think about what it might have been like
If things would have just worked for once
That warmth I'd felt when you'd held me
It makes me sad to remember

The hours, they drag on slowly
Each day I'm forced to put on a smiling mask
Sometimes it's hard for me to pretend not to care
When I see you've moved on

I heard somewhere that love is delicate
That it can't live with jealousy and greed
I nodded, figuring I knew what they'd meant by that
Though I'm only just starting to get it

And now, most of me has forgotten
The memories are finally floating away
Something is telling me I should care
But for some reason I feel peaceful

And then I saw you, for the first time again
It's been awhile since I'd seen you
And in you I could see that same happiness
It had been a while since I'd seen that

I realize that perhaps we're better off like this
It made me happy to know that you were happy
And maybe, just maybe, I could go on knowing
The sun will always rise again
