Every day it comes to this Catch the things you might have missed You say, get back to yesterday I ain't ever going back Back to the place that I can't stand But I, I miss the way you lie 'Cause I've always been misunderstood Pulled apart and ripped in two But I, I miss the way you lie Catch the sun, before it's gone Here it comes, up in smoke and gone Catch the sun, it never comes Cry in the sand, lost in the fire I never really understood Why I did not feel so good But I, I miss the way you lie 'Cause I've always been up and down Never wanted to hit the ground But I, I miss the way you lie Catch the sun, before it's gone Here it comes, up in smoke and gone Catch the sun, it never comes Cry in the sand, lost in the fire
