Daniel Lyrics by Dia Frampton

Red

2011

[Verse 1]
Do you still sleep without your pillows in the house on Cherry street?
Do you hear the sea?
And we promised we would meet back up in Autumn
But next spring came crawlin' on its knees
You couldn't fit inside my suitcase
And I didn't wanna be slowed down
Sometimes I wish that I could turn the clock around

[Chorus]
Why Daniel? I wish you'd talked me out of it, through thin and thick
Why Daniel? Why'd you let me walk away, I would've stayed
I convinced me if I loved you, I'd leave you, I was lyin'
You stood there with your palms out, your cryin' was silent
Why Daniel? I didn't mean a word I said back then
Why'd you let me win?

[Verse 2]
I remember when we spoke of flying North to Paris, France
Just to feed the birds
And do you still have that old napkin you took home from the cafe
Where I wrote those three words?
You couldn't follow me to L.A
I should've never took that job
Now three years have passed and I still feel so robbed

[Chorus]
Why Daniel? I wish you'd talked me out of it, through thin and thick
Why Daniel? Why'd you let me walk away, I would've stayed
I convinced me if I loved you, I'd leave you, I was lyin'
You stood there with your palms out, your cryin' was silent
Why Daniel? I didn't mean a word I said back then
Why'd you let me win?

[Bridge]
Have you settled down with someone since I gave you time to grow?
Oh
Do you ever think about me? Was it easy to let go?
I was such a foolish soul

[Chorus]
Why Daniel? I wish you'd talked me out of it, through thin and thick
Why Daniel? Why'd you let me walk away, I would've stayed
I convinced me if I loved you, I'd leave you, I was lyin'
You stood there with your palms out, your cryin' was silent
Why Daniel? I didn't mean a word I said back then
Why'd you let me win?
Why'd you let me win?
