Jennifer Ellison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Days are fast but the summer's slow,
Doesn't matter what you know it's how you feel inside,
Take a look at you me,
Wasn't how it's meant to be but,
In the end even i could see the things we tried to hide,
Better days will come again,
You and I may still be friends,
Take a look at how I feel,
God knows the pain is real but,
In the end I know I'll deal with is gonna be.
It's cool, Walk away
I'll live another day,
I hear the words i heard you say,
But I don't play the games you play.
Silent Footsteps in the rain,
Long before I feel the pain,
Watch the teardrops fall in vain,
As you break my heart again,
Try to pass you in the street,
But we always seem to meet,
Guess the feeling still remains,
As you break my heart again.
(again, again)
Keepin' high the feelin' low,
Wish that all the clouds would go,
But then the truth would really show the emptyness in me,
Take away the past and then,
Break away from moments when I,
Faked a smile and still predend my heart is broken free.
It's cool, Walk away
I'll live another day,
I hear the words i heard you say,
But I don't play the games you play.
Silent Footsteps in the rain,
Long before I feel the pain,
Watch the teardrops fall in vain,
As you break my heart again,
Try to pass you in the street,
But we always seem to meet,
Guess the feeling still remains,
As you break my heart again.
(again, again)
When you see me passing by,
Do you still believe, our dreams havn't died?
When you catch me in the corner of your eye sometimes,
Didn't you cry sometimes?
Or is your love just a lie?
Silent Footsteps in the rain,
Long before I feel the pain,
Watch the teardrops fall in vain,
As you break my heart again,
Try to pass you in the street,
But we always seem to meet,
Guess the feeling still remains,
As you break my heart again.
(again, again)
Silent Footsteps in the rain,
Long before I feel the pain,
Watch the teardrops fall in vain,
As you break my heart again,
Try to pass you in the street,
But we always seem to meet,
Guess the feeling still remains,
As you break my heart again.
(again, again)
Silent Footsteps in the rain,
Long before I feel the pain,
Watch the teardrops fall in vain,
As you break my heart again,
Try to pass you in the street,
But we always seem to meet,
Guess the feeling still remains,
As you break my heart again.
(again, again)
