Lyrics

I never thought you’d ever let me see your face again And I’ve survived on memories since I don’t even know when I never told you anything, I’ll bet you haven’t a clue That even after all this time I can’t let go of you. Well I had hoped that everything about you’d come to change And I could heal my aching heart with the words that we’d exchange But evermore you’re sinking in, you caught me by surprise And I’m afraid I’ve lost the world when I look in your eyes. How can I convince myself that it’s not meant to be When trying not to be in love is hard enough for me I would have given anything to just end up with you My hands are tied, I’ve lost it all, there’s nothing I can do Well I’ve been damned to misery if this is how it ends You sit here looking beautiful as we learn to be friends I can’t begin to tell you how so much of me has died And how I’ll slowly turn to ash and burn to death inside How can I convince myself that it’s not meant to be When trying not to be in love is hard enough for me I would have given anything to just end up with you My hands are tied, I’ve lost it all, there’s nothing I can do And I’ve been keeping this so long It’s every word it’s every song And time is nothing but a slow decay I really don’t know how to be To live my life unhappily And nothing feels like it can be okay Again We lift our empty coffee cups and walk out into the street I say it’s so nice seeing you, I’m glad that we could meet It’s just so perfect how the clouds have turned the sky to grey And how I didn’t notice till you turned to walk away How can I convince myself that it’s not meant to be When trying not to be in love is hard enough for me I would have given anything to just end up with you My hands are tied, I’ve lost it all, there’s nothing I can do
