Too many times

I think of what you didn't say  
and how I couldn't make you stay  
you closed the door on all our plans  
and found yourself a stranger's hand  
you’ve made that choice so many times  
they act the part but forget their lines  
another stage and another play  
but the city light still fade away  
now you’re on your own again  
back out with your old school friends  
The costume that you always wear  
will hide the mask you'll never share  
the makeup sees into your fears  
and all the lines of fallen years  
I guess you'll say that you don't know  
so should I let this summer go
or hold your hand  
and take a chance  
by the lake where the spotlights dance  
by the lake where the moonlights dance  
now you’re on your own again  
back out with your old school friends  
cause I know how it feels  
when time wont let you heal  
cause I know how it feels  
when time wont let you heal  
and you reach for something real  
and you reach for something real  
and you reach for something real
