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 (INSTRUMENTAL)

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
|
CHORUS2
Sorrow over-whelms 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 memories But leaving yours up there (CHORUS2)
