Second String - All but Lost Lyrics

What many days have come and gone
Since I last saw your face?
Summer yields to frost and
What we had was all but lost
But what could I do?
There was no sense in chasing blindly after you
That day I watched you leave
What tired weeks have come to pass
Since I last heard your voice
So close to me?
And I swear I heard you say you'd never leave
How could I forget?
As time moves on your memory stays the same
I can't escape, but this one thought remains:
It's better to have loved and lost it all
It's better to have loved and lost it all
It's better to have loved and lost it all
Than spend these days without you
As years begin to fade to nothing
And I forget your name
The details slowly blur together
But one thing will always stay the same
It's better to have loved and lost it all
It's better to have loved and lost it all
It's better to have loved and lost it all
Than spend these days without you
Love lost is still not hopeless
I cling to what it means
That we have tried and failed
Just brings promise of better things
It's better to have loved and lost it all
It's better to have loved and lost it all
It's better to have loved and lost it all
It's better to have loved and lost it all
It's better to have loved and lost it all
It's better to have loved and lost it all
It's better to have loved and lost it all
Than spend these days without you
