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
