The Saddest Thing

I used to look for shadows
Ghosts of another time
I'd see faces that I knew from long ago

But drifting far away now
The imprint disappears
Until you can't recall what you had known

The saddest thing I ever felt was nothing
Coming back after all that time

I guess I thought there always would be something
To remind me of the times that had gone by

I used to dream of moments
Fragments from another time
I'd think evenings long since left behind

But as we're swept along
The tide washes away
Until you're too far past to just rewind

The saddest thing I ever felt was nothing
Coming back after all that time

I guess I thought there always would be something
To remind us of the times that had gone by

Faces and names long since start to blur
I barely know who I am let alone who we were
I'd try to tell you something if I could find the words
But I fear there's just nothing left to say

The saddest thing I ever felt was nothing
Seeing you after all that time

I guess I thought there always would be something
To remind us of the times that had gone by
