Seven years since my dream came true
Since I came to the seeing of you
Can't believe the time flowed away
You lived in my heart for two thousand days
Plus five-hundred fifty-five
But it's not like you're alive
All the same, I've been up nights
Just dreaming of you
Hand of guilt on my shoulder
What I put you through
Never saw the dangers of so much control
Never thought I'd smother you in my soul
Oh, I've been up nights
All alone, I've been moving on
I guess it's easier with you gone
But when I think about the things I said
All the notions I put in your head
Well, it makes me want to shout
Send my promises south
You know, I've been up nights
Like a shooting star
I burn my heart a beacon
Show me where you are
Never took a moment just to realize
See the fire I was lighting in your eyes
Yeah, I've been up nights
Seven years, they just slip on by
Every memory feels miles wide
You could say I learned my lesson
But I never learn, no no...
