I Wouldn't Want To

They're painting the churches to cover the time that's passed
It's the 12th of December and the snow on the ground as the city gets one last laugh
And turns the lights out.

It was easy to bury, the wickedness in my heart
But was no one else sorry?
Could no one else see that the ghosts that they'd left behind would not forget them?

I've loved you so long
I could've changed my mind
I won't forget you
I wouldn't want to.

Now it's dark on the corner, it's dark where we used to walk
But I still remember the streets and the bars, the parks and the winter coats
But the words escape me
They're ringing the bells out
Be sure that they ring for you
You've been so disconnected
But if there's blame for the fall then the blame need not fall on you
You took your chances.

I've loved you so long
I could've changed my mind
I won't forget you
I wouldn't want to
I could've changed my mind
I wouldn't want to.

You've always been ready to leave when you get your cue
And I guess I'm no different
I guess we're the same
And I guess that you've guessed it too.
