A Scar For Every Sunset

I’ve been foolish, all of my days 
And it seems I’ve played a fool
Chasing dreams I haven’t made
Fills my heart with the blues 

For one night in heaven
I’d sell my soul into hell
To quench these flames of desire 
You’ve put me underneath your spell

There’s a scar for every sunset
That I don’t spend with you
Each passing day’s another dream
That keeps waiting to come true

There’s a scar on my heart
Even one on my soul
You’d think by now maybe I would learn
Sometimes it’s best to let go

In the morning you’re with me
Right where you’ve been for years
I still carry this want too
It’s the other way I fear

I just can’t seem to come to grips
With the fact that we don’t share
Every single sunset 
Just reminds me you’re not here

There’s a scar for every sunset
That I don’t share with you
Each passing day’s another dream
That keeps waiting to come true

There’s a scar on my heart
Even one on my soul
You’d think by now maybe I would learn
Sometimes it’s best to let go

There’s a scar on my heart 
For every sunset we don’t share
While we may not be together
I still long to someday share

Every single sunset
