lyrics

I'm standing here in the alley of our youth
Thinking how sure we were of the truth
I look at our old wooden fence
And I try to make some sense
In how things got so tense

And now after all these years
The fog of memories clears
I'm finally getting rid of my fears
I guess I miss your advice
In how to live with this vice
I've been waiting to join the skies

I'm forced to retreat
And I don't know why
I'm forced to retreat
From your eye

I'm forced to retreat
And I don't know why
I'm forced to retreat
With this lie

You were the pillar of this house
The only thing now remains is your red blouse
I keep it as a reminder of your style
I would rather have your smile
But you only see me as completely vile

I'm forced to retreat
And I don't know why
I'm forced to retreat
With this lie

I'm forced to retreat
And I don't know why
I'm forced to retreat
From your eye

Yes I promise to leave you alone
Yes I promise to not make myself known
And yes I do still miss you
And yes I do somehow get through
