  • Summer's gone winter's in your eyes
    I can feel the thunder storms inside
    I wake every morning and the cold winds cover me
    All I've got's a ghost of what could be
    If you can see the lights shine in front of me
    If you can see the lights, shout out where you'll be
    I'm in a broken dream I stare out into space
    You know I called you up cause nothing takes your place
    I've got a heart of stone and it's sinking deep inside
    I want to tell you love I'm too proud to cry
    If you can see the lights shine in front of me
    If you can see the lights, shout out where you'll be
    Summer's gone and I can't tell you lies
    Oh forgive me love I'm too proud to cry
    If you can see the lights shine in front of me
    If you can see the lights, shout out where you'll be
    Summer's gone and I can't tell you lies
    Forgive me love I'm too proud to cry
    Too proud to cry
    Too proud to cry
    Too proud to cry
