I should have known when I left the key that I was never coming back
I joked "Am I ever gonna see you again" & I didn't hear you laugh
A fog wall that hangs over the valley, the desert dust is filled with sage
The gravel & the scree of my hopes & dreams crushed beneath my age

We can't change the past
What's lost is never truly found
The future knows its path
We can only wait, for now

When you sang my name it was sweeter than whatever could be wrong
When I held your hand in mine I almost felt like I belonged
Is all the love I know, I'll know, I've known a mirage that disappears
Does it evaporate like the words that I left written on your mirror

We can't change the past
What's lost is never truly found
The future knows its path
What's gonna happen to me now

You & your new lover on a cliffside looking over
The sunset on the beach, the blue Pacific Ocean
While you were drinking fancy drinks & chewing on the flowers
I was lost & drowning as someone else's problem
How can I say that it's not you when I don't know you anymore
If I ever knew I should have known when I locked the door
