The Spring That Never Came

Heaven is a promise

Heaven is a place to lay your head

After endless days are over

I remember falling

I remember needing nothing else

But what we had til what we had was gone

Like the setting of the sun

Thought I could take it

Cause I was made for holding on

It’s not the winter

I can handle the cold

If it’s not forever

I’ll keep warm til you’re home

But your love was gone for longer

Than my tired heart could take

It’s not the winter

It’s the spring that never came

Sure you had your reasons

Sure that you were trying to survive

As you held your heart like cards against your chest

But years inside a season

Made me feel like I was gonna die

Watching embers fade til all that was left

Was the memory of innocence

It’s not the winter

I can handle the cold

If it’s not forever

I’ll keep warm til you’re home

But your love was gone for longer

Than my tired heart could take

It’s not the winter

It’s the spring that never came

And I’ll still take the blame

Cause if I could I’d change that December

But I just gotta say

It’s not the winter

I can handle the cold

If it’s not forever

I’ll keep warm til you’re home

But your love was gone for longer

Than my tired heart could take

It’s not the winter

It’s the spring that never came
