VERSE1
Last night I climbed the attic stairs -to see if I could find
Something I had left up there -From a younger time
I reached the top pushed up the lid -the opening fell wide
I peered into the darkness -Then slowly climbed inside
|
VERSE2
I found the switch turned on the light -My eyes could clearly see
Boxes upon boxes -Full of things that made up me
Some were sealed tightly -On shelves where theyd been stored
some had fallen off -and spilled there contents on the floor
|
CHORUS
Scattered pictures tossed about -of people I once knew
Tattered edges faded faces -One of which was you
Memories Id pushed away -Came rushing back as if to say
Something that they thought -I didnt know
I can never really let you go
|
VERSE3
I think about it even now -The day I saw you last
How it all came falling down -And slipped away so fast
As angry words were spilling out -I looked into your eyes
But all that I could see in them -Was something like surprise
|
CHORUS
Sorrow overwhelms me -When I think of what Ive lost
Then a voice from inside tells me -Every choice comes with a cost
All those things you heard me say -Dont change the fact that still today
I can never really let you go -That is something you may never know
|
VERSE4
I searched and found why I had come -What I was looking for
quickly left that attic -With your picture on the floor
From time to time I know that I -Will climb those attics stairs
Retrieving some old memory -But leaving yours up there
|
(REPEAT CHORUS2)
