I came back to the restaurant where we went to
On that Wednesday night, I still remember, the same old view
Emma′s like the sunshine in December
Just a fleeting warmth of comfort in the winter's cold
She didn′t stay for long, but I remember
How I'd sail through Hell and Heaven just to have her close
But when I thought she'd reach back with her hands
Like the ocean meets the sand
When I thought beneath the night sky, we would dance
She′s never seen again
Tell me how to fall in love again
Tell me how to move on with a broken heart like this
I won′t forget the way she walked away
And I wonder if there's something I could have done
To make her stay
To change her mind
Emma′s like a river in the summer
She glimmers in the sunlight, glowing in the nights
The sweetest soul, her spirit's like no other
When I look into the water, I can see her eyes
When I thought the constellations had aligned
Like they′re giving me the signs
That we'd walk together ′til the end of time
She waved and said goodbye
Tell me how to fall in love again
Tell me how to move on with a broken heart like this
I won't forget the way she walked away
And I wonder if there's something I could have done
To make her stay
To change her mind
When she walked through that door
I thought it was the start of something new
How naive I was before
Believing that the fairytales were true
Oh, it′s hard to carry on
Oh, it′s hard knowing now she's gone
I will hold on to that night
Sitting ′neath the lantern lights
I'm scared of falling deep in love again
I′m scared to give my heart away until nothing else remains
My friends told me that time would heal the pain
But I can't stop thinking about all that could have been
If Emma stayed
