If only I'd believe you I would convince myself to stay I'd bridge the distance in your eyes But I've run out of words to say There's nothing left to do Than say irrelevant goodbyes For better or for worse, I really got to go You were everything to me You left, with no choice but to leave And I wish that I could stay I wish that I could smile I wish that I could still live in denial I wish that I could stay I wish that I could smile I wish that I could still live in denial She numbs the senses I still have I feel it running through my veins Drains the pressure from my head Just to get me through the pain There's nothing left to do Than say irrelevant goodbyes For better or for worse, I really got to go And I wish that I could stay I wish that I could smile I wish that I could still live in denial I wish that I could stay I wish that I could smile I wish that I could still live in denial And even if I find the words They cannot change how much it hurts For better or for worse, I can't live in denial And I wish that I could stay I wish that I could smile I wish that I could still live in denial I wish that I could stay I wish that I could smile I wish that I could still live in denial Living in denial
