Hm
Oh-oh-oh
Mm

I've gotta be honest with you
I couldn't sleep for a night or two
I'm a little dizzy, all my thoughts run south
But none of it matters if I ain't got you

I know I said I'd try to be strong
I'd smile even when things went wrong
But all of my pieces fell out of place
And I'm not ready to put them back today

It's been a while since I heard your name
I still don't know what to say
It's been a while since I heard your name
And it hurts just the same

Matilda
Matilda

Every knock upon my door
Makes me hope for something more
Every time I hear the rain
I swear it calls your name

When forever doesn't feel so good
Like everybody said it would
'Cause forever's just too long to face
When you're the one I can't replace

It's been a while now since that day
When the car crash came our way
I'm prepared to say goodbye
So why can't I get you out of my mind?

The years keep moving on somehow
But my heart still stays back now
Trying to find some trace of you
In every little thing I do

It's been a while since I heard your name
But the silence still remains
It's been a while since I heard your name
Yet the ache stays the same

Matilda
Matilda

Every knock upon my door
Makes me hope for something more
Every time I hear the rain
I swear it calls your name

And forever doesn't feel so good
Like everybody said it would
'Cause forever's just too long to face
When you're the one I can't replace

Maybe somewhere in the stars
You're still laughing from afar
Maybe every drop of rain
Carries whispers of your name

And I know I have to let you go
That's what everybody tells me so
But some goodbyes were never made
They just echo and they fade

Matilda
Matilda

Every knock upon my door
Makes me turn around once more
Every time I hear the rain
I swear it calls your name

And forever doesn't feel so good
Like everybody said it would
'Cause forever's just too long to face
When you're the one I can't replace

Matilda
Matilda

Every time I hear the rain
I swear it calls your name
