no longer what you require

we had it all

we were young lovers

we were full of trust and faith

we were dead set on making

it last forever

forever and a day

i recall it was fall last year

when it started to die

standing still

as the temperature kills

the summer's thrills

that were keeping it alive

the days got colder

so i held you closer

in effort to save us some time

almost like the wind came

and ruined the spark

and left us in the dark

but hey

i could've told you

that i loved you and stayed

around to kindle the fire

but i was late. on my return

and now you've lost all faith

and i am the liar

i'm no longer what you require

i still feel you at night

turning in the sheets

when i turn out the light

that's how it goes

the ghost of your first love

won't ever leave you

till the day that you die

i won't ever live down

leaving her behind

even if the choice was the right one

it was a good thing

staring me right in the face

but i turned and ran away

hey

i could've told you

that i loved you and stayed

around to kindle the fire

but i was late

on my return

and now you've lost all faith

and i am the liar

i'm no longer what you require

back then

the days were so much faster

we were young

stubborn

and in love with disaster

you know you can't go back

even if you try

you better just forget her

won't you close the door on me

cause it'll never be the same

it'll never be the way

it was before

well hey

i could've told you

that i loved you and stayed

around to kindle the fire

but i was late

on my return

and now you've lost all faith

and i am the liar

oh hey

i would've told you

that i loved you and stayed

around to kindle the fire

but i was late

on my return

and so you've lost all faith

in the dying light

i'm no longer what you require

i'm no longer what you require

no longer
