Lyrics
Verse1: It may take some time To stop remembering The way it used to be When we shared every day I thought it would be that way forever
Verse2: I still find reminders Of your life with me Just lots of little things Around me every day I should put them all away
Chorus: I took your name off the mailbox today The paint was baked so hard From many years of sunshine What I couldn't scrape away The rain will wash away someday
Bridge: Why is there so much pain? What could make me smile again? Where do I go from here Facing every day Knowing you'll never be Again in this life with me?
Verse3: If I had another name To paint there Then I'd never have to see The traces that remain They'll be there just the same
