LYRICS:
I'm alone
Sitting with my 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

I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Riding on The Metro

I was smiling as you took my hand
So removed
We spoke in France
[Minutes] passed with shallow words
Years have passed and still the hurt
[Minutes] passed with shallow words
Years have passed and still the hurt
I can see you now
Smiling as you pulled away
Sorry

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

I remember a feeling coming over me
The soldier turned, then looked away
[Thank] you for loving me
Riding on The Metro
