Just starin' back at my reflection, tryna get outside my head
Wishin' love was resurrection as I watch your silhouette
Fade away into the shadows, as the sun begins to set
On another day without you, worry one day I'll forget about
The love we shared together, how we knew it from the start
How we laughed and played together, stayin' out way after dark
But you grew up way too early, you were forced to play the part
And I know I never told you, but you'll always have my heart, and
I don't know if we, ever gonna meet again
All I'm left with are, tears on my cigarettes and
My heart breaks on these days I see how I forget you
I realize that I let you down when I
Burned your spirit to the ground I
I burned your spirit to the ground I
Burned your spirit to the ground
I burned your spirit to the ground I
Realize that I let you down, when I
Burned your spirit to the ground now
Trepidation seems to haunt my every move
I guess you never tore those walls down
You put up just to prove that you're OK
Knew you were hurtin, I could see it in your eyes
And I did my best to hold you up, and to whittle down your pride
Still your house filled up with liquor, guess you found peace with it inside
In those 18 years I knew you I ain't ever seen you cry
Watched you follow in the footsteps, of that man who came before
And I wasn't there to catch you as you stumbled through the door, now
I don't know if we, ever gonna meet again
All I'm left with are, tears on my cigarettes and
My heart breaks on these days I see how I forget you
I realize that I let you down when I
Burned your spirit to the ground I
I burned your spirit to the ground I
Burned your spirit to the ground
I burned your spirit to the ground I
Realize that I let you down, when I
Burned your spirit to the ground now
Ten years have passed me by, wish you could say the same
I lost so many precious memories, tryna take away the pain
Know I only blame myself, and all these habits I sustain
Now I roll another smoke up, as I sing this old refrain like
I don't know if we, ever gonna meet again
All I'm left with are, tears on my cigarettes and
My heart breaks on these days I see how I forget you
I realize that I let you down when I
Burned your spirit to the ground I
I burned your spirit to the ground I
Burned your spirit to the ground
I burned your spirit to the ground I
Realize that I let you down, when I
Burned your spirit to the ground now
