I Wouldn’t Want To

They're painting the churches
To cover the time that's passed
It's the 12th of December
And there's snow on the ground
As the city gets one last laugh
And turns the lights out

It was easy to bury
The wickedness in my heart
But was no one else sorry?
Could no one else see
That the ghosts they left behind
Will not forget them?

I loved you so long
I couldn't change my mind
I won't forget you
I wouldn't want to

Now it's dark on the corner
It's dark where we used to walk
But I still remember
The streets and the bars
The parks and the winter coats
But the words escape me

They're ringing the bells out
Be sure that they ring for you
You've been so disconnected
But if there's blame for the fall
Then the blame need not fall on you
You took your chances

I love you so long
I couldn't change my mind
I won't forget you
I wouldn't want to
I couldn't change my mind
I wouldn't want to

You've always been ready
To leave when you get accused
And I guess I am no different
I guess we are the same
And I guess that you guessed it too
