Howie Day - No Longer What You Require

We had it all
We were young lovers
We were full of trust and faith
We were dead set on making it last forever
Forever and a day

I recall it was fall last year
When it started to die
Standing still
As the temperature kills
The summer's thrills
That were keeping it alive

The days got colder
So I held you closer
In an effort to save us from time
Almost like a wind came
And ruined the spark
And left us in the dark

But, hey
I could've told you that I loved you
And stayed around to kindle the fire
But I was late on my return
And now you've lost all faith
And I am the liar
I'm no longer what you require

I still feel you at night
Turning in the sheets
When I turn out the light
That's how it goes
The ghost of your first love
Won't ever leave you
Till the day that you die

I won't ever live down
Leaving her behind
Even if the choice was the right one
It was a good thing
Staring me right in the face
But I turned and ran away

Hey
I could've told you that I loved you
And stayed around to kindle the fire
But I was late on my return
And now you've lost all faith
And I am the liar
I'm no longer what you require

Back then
The days were so much faster
We were young, stubborn
And in love with disaster

You know you can't go back
Even if you try
You better just forget her
Won't you close the door on me
'Cause it'll never be the same
It will never be the way it was before

But, hey
I would've told you that I loved you
And stayed around to kindle the fire
But I was late on my return
And so you've lost all faith
And I am the liar

Oh, hey
I would've told you that I loved you
And stayed around to kindle the fire
But I was late on my return
And now you've lost all faith
In the dying light
I'm no longer what you require

I'm no longer what you require

No longer...
