Howie Day - No Longer What You Require lyrics

We had it all we were, young lovers
We were full of trust and faith
We were dead set on makin' it last forever
Forever and a day
I recall it was fall last year when
It started to die
You stand still as the temperature kills
The summer strokes that were keeping it alive
The day got colder so I held you closer
In an effort to save us from time
Almost like the wind came and ruined the
Spark and left us in the dark

But hey- I coulda told you that
I loved you and stay
Around to rekindle the fire but I was late
On my return and now you've lost all faith
And I am a liar
I'm no longer what you require
See, I still feel you at night
Turning in the sheets when I
Turn out the light it's how it goes
The ghost of your first love won't ever leave
You til 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

I coulda told you that I loved you and stay
Around to rekindle the fire but I was late
On my return and now you've lost all faith
Cause I am a 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 it won't you
Close the door on me
Cause it will never be the same
It will never be the way it was before

But hey- I coulda told you that
I loved you and stayed
Around to rekindle the fire but I was late
On my return and now you've lost all faith
And I am a liar
Well hey- I coulda told you that
I loved you and stay
Around to rekindle the fire but I was late
On my return and now you've lost all faith
And I am a liar I'm
No longer what you require
And im no longer what you require
