Gingerbread House

I fell for you like snow, on the trees

On the night we walked alone, at seventeen

And my cheeks were colored rose

But it wasn't from the cold, it was the way you looked at me

But feelings fade, and your eyes don't say

"I love you" like the way they did before

And the home we made, somehow became

Just bits and broken pieces on the floor

Cause we build a gingerbread house, four walls, sugar and flour

Built up to watch you fall down, gumdrops and tears on the ground

So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren't made to last

I guess its just gingerbread, a gingerbread house

I guess I didn't know, what you meant to me

Till I was all alone, putting up the tree

But the lights don't seem to glow, the way they did before

When you were next to me

Cause feelings fade, and I can't say

"I love you" like the way I did before

And the home we made, somehow became

Just bits and broken pieces on the floor

Cause we build a gingerbread house, four walls, sugar and flour

Built up to watch you fall down, gumdrops and tears on the ground

So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren't made to last

I guess its just gingerbread

Ten months I thought we were fine, lost in the time of our lives

So high the fourth of July, the seasons change and so do your mind

So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren't made to last

I guess its just gingerbread, a gingerbread house

Cause we build a gingerbread house, four walls, sugar and flour

Built up to watch you fall down, gumdrops and tears on the ground

So sad it goes so fast but candy hearts weren't made to last

I guess its just gingerbread
