[firewoodfigs]

saw you in the garden  that one summer,  in your rumpled dresses  trampling on roses

brought you to that frozen lake where i  watched your broken soul ache where you told me  your secret griefs 

and sometimes i can’t help but wish  things hadn’t changed between us  was it pride, was it the way  i wasn’t by your side 

was it my broken promises  and miserable lies  that made you think otherwise? 

but i promise i’ll be a better man,  be a bit less of a fool, someone wise 

this time i’d like to make you mine

saw you in the desert  that next summer,  in your military blues  like a plan gone askew 

things would never be the same  and i would  never call your name 

all this was an old fantasy  it wasn’t meant to be

sometimes i can’t help but wish  things hadn’t changed between us  was it pride, was it the way  i wasn’t by your side 

was it my broken promises  and miserable lies  that made you think otherwise? 

but i promise i’ll be a better man,  be a bit less of a fool, someone wise 

this time i’d like to make you mine

never would’ve thought  we’d end up this way  from old-time lovers  to nothing but hearsay 

it’s hard, when I just  wanna hear your voice at two in the morning,  kiss you in the pouring rain  take away all your pain

sometimes i can’t help but wish  things hadn’t changed between us  was it pride, was it the way  i wasn’t by your side 

was it my broken promises  and miserable lies  that made you think otherwise? 

but i promise i’ll be a better man,  be a bit less of a fool, someone wise 

this time i promise I’ll make you mine
