I loved the girl, but I messed her up
Now she's with another so I've found
They say, "Better to have loved and lost, than not have loved at all"
Much more than my foolish pride has took a fall
They all tell me about mistakes that I have made
And I have no doubt my hand was overplayed

There's a shadow on my house, the windows shed no light
Since you've gone I feel so wrong, I can't tell day from night

All too late, I have learnt
Burn the candle at both ends and you'll get burnt
How could there be a fool such as I?
To let you walk away out of my life
Sitting here alone, all the days seem the same
I don't know how much longer I can stand the pain

There's a shadow on my house, the windows shed no light
Since you've gone I feel so wrong, I can't tell day from night
