I'm alone, sitting with my empty glass
My four walls follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train. I emerged in London rain
and you were waiting there, swimming through apologies
CHORUS
A5 B5 G5 D5
I remember searching for the perfect words
A5 B5 G5
I was hoping you might change your mind
A5 B5 G5 D5
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
A5 B5 G5 A5 B5
Riding on the Metro

You wore white, smiling as you took my hand
and so we moved, we spoke of wintertime in France
Minutes passed with shallow words. Years have passed and still the hurt
I can see you now, smiling as you pulled away.
CHORUS
I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes
I remember the night we walked along the Seine
Riding on the Metro

CHORUS
I remember a feeling coming over me
The soldier turned and walked away
I remember hating you for loving me
Riding on the Metro
I'm alone, sitting with a broken glass
My four walls follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train. I emerged in London rain
and you were waiting there, swimming through apologies
(sorry)
