He can still remember a year ago today
Driving home to try to make things right
His work had overtaken and left him no control
He'd lost the love that used to be so tight
His world had come unravelled, their lives had grown apart
The money made could never mend the breaking of her heart

A whisper in the darkness, a shadow in the hall
A memory slowly fading that she won't miss at all
It's too late to say he's sorry, it's too much for him to bear
He's got all the time she needed now she doesn't seem to care

Extra hours overtime meant she was left alone
He never realised how he'd done her wrong
And he wonders if that other man keeps her satisfied
And gives the love she'd needed for so long
If only he could tell her if only she could see
But what he thought would happen was never meant to be

A whisper in the darkness, a shadow in the hall
A memory slowly fading that she won't miss at all
It's too late to say he's sorry, it's too much for him to bear
He's got all the time she needed now she doesn't seem to care

He can still remember a year ago today
Driving home to try to make things right
His car had overtaken and spun out of control
He lost his life beside the road that night
And now he sits in silence to watch her carry on
He can never leave, but it's like he'd never gone

A whisper in the darkness, a shadow in the hall
A memory slowly fading that she won't miss at all
It's too late to say he's sorry, it's too much for him to bear
He's got all the time she needed now she doesn't seem to care
