The Metro

[Verse 1]
I'm alone
Sitting with my empty glass
My four walls
Follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train
I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there
Swimming through apologies

[Chorus 1]
I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Riding on the Metro

[Chorus 2]
I remember a feeling coming over me
The soldier turned, then looked away
I remember hating you for loving me
Riding on the Metro

[Verse 2]
You wore white
Smiling as you took my hand
So removed
We talked about our time in France
Minutes passed with shallow words
Years have passed and still the hurt
I can see you now
Smiling as I turned away

[Chorus 3]
I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes
I remember a night we walked along the Seine
Riding on the Metro
