The Metro

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

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

You wore white, smiling as you took my hand

So removed, we spoke of wintertime in France

Minutes passed with shallow words

Years have passed, and still the hurt

Oh, I can see you now

Smiling as you pull away

I remember the letter we forgot in my hand

"I love you always" fills my head

I remember the night we walked along the Seine

Riding on the Metro

I remember a feeling coming over me

A soldier turning, ready to run away

I remember hating you for loving me

Riding on the Metro

I'm alone, sitting with my broken 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
