Yours Truly - Winter Lyrics

They took the perfect picture
Now the glass is shattered on the floor
He swore he wouldn't miss her
But cried a tear when she walked out the door

They tried, but couldn't get it right
His lies kept her up all night
And now it's over
And there was nothing left to say

So take these memories
And say you won't forget me
Someday you'll wake up all alone and I'll be gone
The TV's on, but no one's home
These memories
I'll hold on if you let me
Are all I have to get me through the cold
And now I'm gone and winter's here to stay

He set a good example
First class, a future football star
But he took a different angle
Now he's broke and living in his car

He tried, but couldn't get it right
She cried when he stayed out all night
And now it's over
'Cause there was nothing left to say

So take these memories
And say you won't forget me
Someday you'll wake up all alone and I'll be gone
The TV's on, but no one's home
These memories
I'll hold on if you let me
Are all I have to get me through the cold
And now I'm gone and winter's here to stay

Now take your stupid poems and your sorry notes
'Cause I don't care for heartbreak songs
I don't care at all so don't call no more
I haven't felt the rain in oh so long
In oh so long

So take these memories
And say you won't forget me
Someday you'll wake up all alone and I'll be gone
The TV's on, but no one's home
These memories
I'll hold on if you let me
Are all I have to get me through the cold
And now I'm gone and winter's here to stay
