You were the one
Who painted the sun in my sky
You took me to bed
And laid down my head for the first time
You opened up doors
And you danced 'cross the floors
And polished the moon til it shined
You left me blind
When you came around
You turned up the sound of my heart
I could feel it in waves
It echoed in caves of my soul
But you left and you're leaving
Me open and bleeding
Painting the red on the rose
You let me go
I'll wait a while for you
Stay home a night or two
Make it to three, I'll be gone
'Cause I can't keep waiting
And the whiskey I'm chasing
Tells me it's love that's gone wrong
I should just go
Turn out the light
And marry the night
I spent my life in a dream
Wishing I wouldn't be alone
I wait by the phone
Willing the tone to come through
But this room stays silent
And the calm becomes violent
With the ghosts of the memories of you
I couldn't do
Nothing to stop you
You met someone new
But I'll wait a while for you
Stay home a night or two
Make it to three, I'll be gone
'Cause I can't keep waiting
And the whiskey I'm chasing
Tells me it's love that's gone wrong
I should just go
Turn out the light
And marry the night
You were the one
Who painted the sun in my sky
