We're halfway there when the rain came down

Again I tried to make the past come back,
As if I tried to take the inside track.
Again I spoke and told you what I thought,
How I loved the moments when we laughed and fought.
Again you left and chose to walk away,
Instead of turning to meet me halfway.
Again you let out a tired sigh,
as if to say "Goodnight and goodbye".
