  • This is a dark parade
    Another rough patch to rain on
    To rain on
    I know your friends may say
    This is a cause for celebration
    Hip-hip-hooray, love
    Photographs in sepia tones
    So still, the fire's barely fighting the cold
    Alone
    There are times when I can feel your ghost
    Just when I'm almost letting you go
    The cards were stacked against us both

    I will always love you for what it's worth
    We'll never fade like graffiti on the overpass
    And I know time may change the way you think of us
    But I'll remember the way we were
    You were the first full stop, love that will never leave
    Baby, you will never be lost on me

    This is a goddamn shame
    I never wanted to break it, or leave us tainted
    Know I should walk away
    But I just can't replace us or even erase us
    The car was stuck, the engine stalled
    And both of us got caught out in the snow
    Alone
    There were times when I forget the lows
    And think the highs were all that we'd ever known
    The cards were stacked against us both

    I will always love you for what it's worth
    We'll never fade like graffiti on the overpass
    And I know time may change the way you think of us
    But I'll remember the way we were
    You were the first full stop, love that will never leave
    Baby, you will never be lost on me
    Lost on me
    Baby, you will never be lost on me
    Lost on me

    Well, I will always love you for what it's worth
    We'll never fade like graffiti on the overpass
    And I know time may change the way you think of us
    But I'll remember the way we were
    You were the first full stop, love that will never leave
    Baby, you will never be lost on me

    Yeah, yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Lost on me, ooh
