Pink clouds of cigarette smoke
On the horizon of this cold and lonely night
Two years ago this October I lost a friend
Who meant everything to me
But memories just don’t fade like the smoke
And if I could describe this feeling
I don’t think that I would
Something’s are meant to be more than words
To be held inside even when it hurts
That’s the difference between life and love
The essence of holding on and letting go
Is just the nature of the game
Crowd around this paper bag
It holds my life when no one holds my hand
Blurring the present just to forget the past
Is a far cry from how I should live
And come morning I’ll still remember why
I even opened this bottle
Just to be happy for the night
Something’s just can’t be explained with words
No matter how much you cry when it hurts
That’s the difference between life and love
The essence of holding on and letting go
Is just the nature of the game
I used to want to be someone other than me
I used to want so many things I didn’t need
And searching for the missing link
I forgot to look inside of me
Something’s just can’t be explained with words
No matter how you move your mouth it just doesn’t work
Something’s are meant to be more that words
To be held inside even when it hurts
That’s the difference between life and love
The essence of holding on and letting go
It’s just the nature of the game
