A bright August day
I couldn't see where I was going
My mind drifted away
Through fog without an opening
Why did I do it that day
And cause you so much pain
Why did I let you slip away
Let's talk till the sun is no more
Tell the moon what I loved you so much for
The stars will show us the way
And guide us if you let me stay
Why did I build this wall
Brick by brick, I break it all
Embrace you with all that I have
For I miss you more than you know
I'm sorry that I wouldn't speak
I was lost even though you were there
I ain't no saint, I'm well aware
But I see light now from your golden hair
Why did I do it that day
And cause you so much pain
Why did I let you slip away
Let's talk till the sun is no more
Tell the moon what I loved you so much for
The stars will show us the way
And guide us if you let me stay
Why did I build this wall
Brick by brick, I break it all
Embrace you with all that I have
For I miss you more than you know
For I miss you more than you know
