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
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
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 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
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
