[Verse 1]It was a June day when I fell in loveI fell straight on my face, couldn't rise back aboveBut I'll lick these wounds that I have left from youFaces blended in with the pale blue skyAnd I came back around and I heard that you criedWell to say I didn't too, well, that would be a lie, my dearWe were sitting by the fire that summer nightShe said, “Come in close, I'll show you my eyes”So I took a deep glance and I was paralyzed that night[Chorus]I watched the sun fall out of sightAnd I watched the moon as it faded into nightAnd I watched your eyes stare right back into mineI watched the sea roll back into the tideAnd I watched the leaves grow older with timeAnd I watched you with me, as I held you tight[Verse 2]Oh, I've seen your face before in the afternoon lightI've seen your face before, as tears formed in your eyesOh, I've seen this place, I've seen this place beforeOh, I've felt loneliness while surrounded by a crowdI've heard silence be so long and be so loudI've seen happiness; oh, it's here somewhere, some way[Chorus]Oh, I've seen heartbreak on a person's faceAnd I've seen heartbreak, where I was much too lateI have seen these things in the mirror in my roomSo I watched the sky turn into a cloud grayAnd I watched as the birds flew to a better placeMaybe I'll have wings someday[Verse 3]So I thought love was something you had to earnI thought stepping into the flame would just lead to burnsNow you know my worries; yes, this is my concern, my dear[Chorus]And I watched the day grow longer in its lightAnd I watched God's grace touch many people's livesAnd I watched my blame roll down with the tears I criedYes, I watched my blame roll down with the tears I cried
