lyrics

WE DANCED ALL NIGHT
WHEN WE WERE FIFTEEN
NEVER SAID TWO WORDS
I ONLY KNEW YOU FROM WHAT I'D SEEN

NOTHING ELSE MATTERED
IT DIDN'T MEAN NOTHING TO ME
NOW NO MATTER WHERE I GO
I ONLY SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS

NO ONE CAME RUNNING
CAUSE NOBODY CARES
NO ONE CAN HEAR ME
WHEN NOBODY'S THERE
WHEN YOU'RE ALONE
THE SUN SETS SO FAST
I WAS KILLED BY THE GHOSTS OF MY PAST
IN COLD BLOOD

I WENT FROM EAST TO WEST
1000 MILES ON A TRAIN
I COULDN'T FORGET
I THOUGHT ABOUT IT ALL THE WAY

CAME TO MIND A MILLION TIMES
NOTHING’S EVER AS IT SEEMS
NOW NO MATTER WHERE I GO
I ONLY SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS

NO ONE CAME RUNNING
CAUSE NOBODY CARES
NO ONE CAN HEAR ME
WHEN NOBODY'S THERE
WHEN YOU'RE ALONE
THE SUN SETS SO FAST
I WAS KILLED BY THE GHOSTS OF MY PAST
IN COLD BLOOD

THE MOST THAT I EVER SEE OF YOU
IS IN A PICTURE I KEEP ON MY WALL
AND IT’S BEEN THAT WAY FOR SO LONG NOW
I GUESS THAT SAYS IT ALL

YOU KNOW HOW TO SAY MORE IN SILENCE
NO WORDS COULD EVER BE AS BAD
NOW I KNOW HOW MUCH IT HURTS TO LOSE
THE LAST OF THE BEST THING THAT YOU EVER HAD

NO ONE CAME RUNNING
CAUSE NOBODY CARES
NO ONE CAN HEAR ME
WHEN NOBODY'S THERE
WHEN YOU'RE ALONE
THE SUN SETS SO FAST
I WAS KILLED BY THE GHOSTS OF MY PAST
IN COLD BLOOD

THE SCARS YOU SEE ARE JUST NUMB AND OLD
BADGES THAT I HAVE THERE FOR SHOW
THE SCARS YOU GAVE ME DIG DEEPER INSIDE
CAUSE THE WAY YOU CUT ME AIN’T SO EASY TO HIDE

NO ONE CAME RUNNING
CAUSE NOBODY CARES
NO ONE CAN HEAR ME
WHEN NOBODY'S THERE
WHEN YOU'RE ALONE
THE SUN SETS SO FAST
I WAS KILLED BY THE GHOSTS OF MY PAST
IN COLD BLOOD
