When I came round that evening, you wouldn't let me in So I walked all the way back home The clouds turned grey and yellow as the sun went down I knew you shouldn't be alone
I couldn't cope with the loneliness, My nightmare was coming true I only had a photograph of you
You'd hoped for more than anything, you had nothing to lose You said it was more than you could bear You waited for a sunny day at the end of July But the truth is, life can be so unfair
I couldn't cope with the loneliness, My nightmare was coming true I only had a photograph of you
Boarded-up windows over-look your over-grown yard, There's nothing but litter blowing around Why did you keep me out? I could've helped you through the pain I would've held your hand when the sun went down.
I couldn't cope with the loneliness, My nightmare was coming true I only had a photograph of you
