For a time
A smile lived on this face
For every single hour I spent
Locked in your embrace
And I dared
To think it was something more
Something different than the ones
Who broke my heart before
In return
I opened up a place
One deep down inside my soul
Others could never erase
Bridge:
You were the chosen one
To bring me a taste of light
Now you've blown out the flame
And I've been restored to night
Chorus:
So thanks anyway
I hope you found it fun
Thought our lives had just begun
But now youre on the run
Thanks anyway
For even lasting this long
Now its time to move along
So I'll just play this song
Thanks anyway
Every day
I waited for your call
Willed that thing to ring
Or to see you down the hall
But as one night
Turned into three and four
I finally understood
You werent coming back for more
One more time
I tried to take the pearl
But now I finally realize
Your moment was my world
Bridge:
You were the chosen one
To bring me a taste of light
Now you've blown out the flame
And I've been restored to night
Chorus:
So thanks anyway
I hope you found it fun
Thought our lives had just begun
But now youre on the run
Thanks anyway
For even lasting this long
Now its time to move along
So I'll just play this song
Thanks anyway
Thanks anyway
It was great thinking of us two
Man oh man how the time flew
Now it's time to say ado
Thanks anyway
Ill go back to my corner now
I wont say a word aloud
I will find myself somehow
Chorus:
So thanks anyway
I hope you found it fun
Thought our lives had just begun
But now youre on the run
Thanks anyway
For even lasting this long
Now its time to move along
So I'll just play this song
Thanks anyway
