Sometimes love is a sad salvation
You can't stay warm in its feeble glow
Sometimes love is a sad salvation
But it's the only love she knows
She smiles at the children selling candy
on the street
Remembers the good old days, a life
so bittersweet
Listens to the schoolgirls sing their
songs a little louder
And with the weight of the world she walks
a little prouder
He's waiting upstairs hasn't been out for a while
She cried as she feeds him, she lives for his smile
Speaks with his eyes, goodbye, they're saying
They tremble inside, they can hear each
other's heart breaking
Chorus
With tired eyes and a weary soul
She stares at the past frozen on her wall
Seems like a million years, feels like only
yesterday
That he lived in those eyes-now so far away
She lays down beside him like she's done for
years and years
Kisses his face, so wet from her tears
Will she wake up alone-she don't wanna go to sleep
She curses life for giving herwhat
it just can't let her keep
Chorus
Her hands start to tremble as she packs up
his clothes
Everything's got a story-now only she knows
She sighs then she smiles, surprising herself
Even through the hard times she could never
love anybody else
Chorus
You can't stay warm in its feeble glow
Sometimes love is a sad salvation
But it's the only love she knows
She smiles at the children selling candy
on the street
Remembers the good old days, a life
so bittersweet
Listens to the schoolgirls sing their
songs a little louder
And with the weight of the world she walks
a little prouder
He's waiting upstairs hasn't been out for a while
She cried as she feeds him, she lives for his smile
Speaks with his eyes, goodbye, they're saying
They tremble inside, they can hear each
other's heart breaking
Chorus
With tired eyes and a weary soul
She stares at the past frozen on her wall
Seems like a million years, feels like only
yesterday
That he lived in those eyes-now so far away
She lays down beside him like she's done for
years and years
Kisses his face, so wet from her tears
Will she wake up alone-she don't wanna go to sleep
She curses life for giving herwhat
it just can't let her keep
Chorus
Her hands start to tremble as she packs up
his clothes
Everything's got a story-now only she knows
She sighs then she smiles, surprising herself
Even through the hard times she could never
love anybody else
