lyrics

I was walking down that old road with my memories
my bare feet on the stones I felt wind brush off my worries
so much has changed, my face has toughened out
I'm not the same

I remember the shape of her hands, they correspond to mine
and when they brush 'cross my face and tell me
"there's no reason to hide"

I can't help but keep it inside
the frustration of knowing failed tries
then I felt sunlight on my eyes
as the car sped up, I waved Amy Goodbye

and there she stood with tear-filled eyes
I couldn't speak in awe of her sighs
I held her tight but not tight enough
if only I'd known I was giving her up

and that day was my only regret
it hurt like hell to get over, but I'd do it again
I'd hold her tighter but this time
I won't lose my grip
Lose my grip
