If I could have only one more chance
To see the city lights reflecting in your eyes
What wouldn't I give to to go back and say
That you should walk away, leave me to my pain
'Cause you were my bright white sunlight
And now you're my darkest night
You were the snow before the first step
And now you're the rain, now you're the rain
Everybody loved you, everyone was charmed
Your innocence, your simple smile, it had us all disarmed
I should have know, I should have seen the danger you were in
But I pretended not to know, that was my biggest sin
And if I could have only one more chance
To see the city lights reflecting in your eyes
What wouldn't I give to to go back and say
That you should walk away, leave me to my pain
'Cause you were my bright white sunlight
And now you're my darkest night
You were the snow before the first step
And now you're the rain, now you're the rain
I let you join my wild plans, saw fire in your eyes
Pretended to believe that somehow everything was fine
My arrogance, my self-belief let me thought I could protect
But I was wrong and you are lost, a mistake I can't forget
And if I could have only one more chance
To see the city lights reflecting in your eyes
What wouldn't I give to to go back and say
That you should walk away, leave me to my pain
'Cause you were my bright white sunlight
And now you're my darkest night
You were the snow before the first step
And now you're the rain, now you're the rain
My anger stalks these empty streets, Ignites these empty bones
Though who I'm angry at sometimes I'm not sure that I know
It wasn't me who struck you down, I didn't hold the knife
But I might as well have held it, been the one to take your life
And if I could have only one more chance
To see the city lights reflecting in your eyes
What wouldn't I give to to go back and say
That you should walk away, leave me to my pain
'Cause you were my bright white sunlight
And now you're my darkest night
You were the snow before the first step
And now you're the rain, now you're the rain
'Cause you were bright white sunlight
And now you're my darkest night
You were the snow before the first step
And now you're the rain, now you're the rain
