I packed my favorite pair of jeans today,
Kept the money hidden, tucked away,
In a place I was too lonely to ever share.
I pulled on a thick winter coat,
Looked once more in the mirror, oh...
In a place I was too frightened to ever share.
The candles died and the dust grew thick,
And the hopes and dreams I once lived with
Were left inside a place I left so bare.
And the thoughts I kept like jewels are gone,
And the vines crawl in from the neglected lawn,
In a place I was too lonely to ever share.
