My handcuffs are fading away, I see the light of the new day.
I said the things that took your breath away, but none of them could ever make you stay.
So I tried as hard as I could to be there for you, but you were travelling onto somewhere new.
So I spent my time on moving on from you, but at a moments notice I would come to your rescue.
But you never listened to a word I said,
Like when I told you "You make Beatles songs play inside my head"
I'm afraid of spending my time with someone new, I'm afraid I'll like them just as much as you.
And you'll find someone too before to long, and like a cloudy memory I'll be gone.
But I'll sing until my voice is torn, to stop you from a-travellin' on
But you never listened to a word I said,
Like when I told you "You make Beatles songs play inside my head"
But I apologize,
For not singing all the songs I should have,
Or being this generation's Dylan,
Or writing a song that would make you love me again
