Postcard
Candace Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But they won't catch one more tear
And I?ll use these lips to sing
A song you'll never hear
You couldn't stand when I was crawling
Did all I could to keep from falling
I?m walking away
You complicate your life
I need my sanity
Here a message on the back of a postcard
A few words to remind you of my heart
A message on the back of a post card
I?m moving on
Draw open these curtains
One hook falls
A perfect ending to it all
But I won?t block out the sun
This heart has just begun to fly
I couldn?t stand how you kept on stalling
Did all you could to keep from falling
I?m walking away from the games you play
You complicate your life
I need my sanity
You always tried to justify what you said
Make excuses bout being in your head
I played your games
Eased your mind
You don?t deserve to see me fly
Here a message on the back of a postcard
A few words to remind you of my heart
A message on the back of a post card
I?m moving on
