The ghost of an unkissed kiss

A field of snow without footprints 

It'll always be perfect, but we didn't get to live it

 

The lights that shone for us across the water

Through the misty dusk 

It'll always be perfect, but we didn't get to live it

 

These lonely places were touched by love 

Dust for the traces and they'll show up

These are the words we'll pack away

These are the feelings that will stay

 

Dry eyes, dry eyes

It was never going to end in dry eyes

We'll never know what we let go

 

How do you push aside

Something that just feels so right?

It'll always be perfect

But I didn't get to live it

We found what so many seek

But it was never ours to keep

It'll always be perfect, but we didn't get to live it

 

I know how unfair been on her

That I could have made it easier

But I wanted her so bad, you see

I just wouldn't stop at anything

 

Wrong as it was to do

Those eyes were made to look into

It'll always be perfect

But we didn't get to live it

So I would just do wrong

Until theache became too strong

It'll always be perfect, but we didn't get to live it
